I am an investor-friendly agent in Chicago. My specialty is 2 to 4 unit buildings and house hacking: buying a 2-flat, 3-flat, or 4-flat, living in one unit, and letting rent from the others pay most of your mortgage. I also work buy and holds, fix and flips, BRRRRs, 1031 exchanges, and mid-term rentals. You may know me from episode 817 of the BiggerPockets Podcast: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-817 I invest my own money in this market. My first property was a house hack where a renter paid 60% of my mortgage. Over the last two decades my wife and I have rehabbed, flipped, and rented properties across Chicago, and we still own and manage rentals today. When I analyze a building for you, I underwrite it like I am buying it myself: real rents, real taxes, real rehab costs, real cash flow. In 2025 my team closed 60 transactions and $32.7 million in sales, and RealTrends Verified ranks us #24 in Chicago by homes sold. Most of my clients are buying their first investment property, and many buy with me from out of state, sight unseen. Whether it is your first building or your fifteenth, my team and I will find the right property and stand behind the numbers.
