New guy in Chicago looking forward to rehab some properties

[Alexander Burdeinyi]

Hi everyone, new to BP, looks like this is a great place for both real estate networking and getting advise from experienced people. I have some experience in buying, rehabbing and selling residential properties. Last year I've done 4 deals with my parter and local GC in Madison WI. Now I'm here in Chicago trying to do the same. I'm working on getting my real estate broker's license, also meeting GCs and subcontractors. I can also do a lot of carpentry work myself, therefore I have knowledge of rehab process. I would appreciate any advice on geographic areas to get started in Chicagoland, current market; possibly meet local pros for potential partnership.

Yea its really crazy thats a mortgage payment in itself but the bad they is it may lower but it'll never go away. Im helping a good friend of mine find a condo and nearly fell out of my chair when i saw 1300+ for hoa fees a MONTH unreal you could barely give those away. Yes it would be great to keep in contact with each other best advice i could give is to get active on here and you will be amazed at the things that you will learn and the people you will meet.
