I’m reaching out for guidance and/or partnership on a single-family home I own outright in Kankakee, Illinois. Here’s the full context:

The Situation

• I own a free and clear SFR in Kankakee—no mortgage, no liens.
• It’s currently occupied by a family member who isn’t paying rent. This makes things emotionally complicated, but I need to move forward.
• The house needs to rehab and possibly some light upgrades.
• I want to use the BRRRR method to turn this into a cash-flowing asset—or use it as a stepping stone to acquire more doors.

Where I Need Help

• Looking for a local partner in IL  ( I've relocated to Texas) 
• What’s the best way to refinance and pull capital out once it’s rehabbed?

My Goals

• Building a repeatable BRRRR AI system.
• Use AI and automation tools (my core background) to streamline rental and acquisition workflows.
• Get this first deal stabilized, rented, and refinanced so I can start scaling.

Open To

• Profit split, equity share, or creative terms
• Advice from those who’ve dealt with family evictions
• Contractor or property manager referrals in Kankakee

If you’ve navigated something similar or want to build with a tech-savvy operator, I’d love to connect. I’m based in Austin, TX but familiar with the Midwest market and eager to build a long-term portfolio.
