Exactly, City of Chicago DOES NOT allow anyone to have hand guns in there homes unless its grandfathered in and even thats a problem. So yeah protect yourself as best as u can. But when it comes to investment properties theres no reason why anyone should be going to low income neighborhoods at times when it could be dangerous. I am not telling anyone how to do your thing but come on knock out the property before 11am-12pm so its not even something to think about. I am usually at low income areas around 7-9 am so that I dont have to worry about any problems 99% of the time.

Hmmm 1 hour traffic or my life being gone or injuries......... Which would you like to keep???

Sorry, I wasn't trying to tell anyone not to protect yourself. I have a few properties in the south side of chicago in the ghetto so I completely understand the need to protect yourself. but there are smart ways to do it is all I am saying, and the gun I like best is a glock 21. Well whatever anyone can do to stay safe is fine by me.

Does anybody know When you have a Series LLC in the state of Illinois if you are allowed to make business under the series or can it be applied only to properties..

Mike,
I would definitely make friends with someone who is an agent, I have been through the exact same thing but a few friends who got there license to "bring-in" extra cash which didn't quite work out have been sending me expired listings and etc. Most of them are not deals on there or will not play ball but hey 2 out of 10 is not bad when there is a good profit.

First of all, why would you put yourself in a position where u would need a gun to enter a vacant property? Not saying nothing will happen but I try not to go to vacant properties/war zones (if I go there) after 12pm the latest, I have been there before where everyone inside was sleeping and I surprise them quick enough so that cant pull anything and I never go alone. But not to jack this thread, I carry a baseball bat in the trunk and I have a gun license and I have been a blackbelt since I was about 15 so I am well qualified/prepared.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Adrian Gutierrez, I am 24 years old and a full time real estate investor living in Wrigleyville-Chicago (Down the street from wrigley field). I started out in R.E. doing alot of rehabbing to build cash and then moved on to investing in Apartment Buildings. I am trying to build contacts in the real estate community on the investor side so that we can all help each other get deals and gain more knowledge. Please feel free to ask me any questions or email me any properties (thats not a pitch right).

Thanks
Adrian J. Gutierrez
