Hello!

I am new to Chicago and want to connect with an experienced (10+ deals) investor in the city.

My partner and I own 22 single-families in Metro-Detroit (not in Detroit). I am analyzing multi family in Chicago but would love to partner with someone that knows the market and contractors better than me.

Talk soon, thank you for your time,

Alex

@Nader Hachem, sorry for the late reply. Have you talked to someone on this matter? I live and invest in Dearborn. But my business partner has a place in Lincoln Park and Dearborn Heights. Would be happy to chat.

Day by day, in every way...
Seller was THE local investor. Thanks to BP, I maintained a relationship with him before the house was on the market. No special favors, but I think it helped that he knew I could close.
By 1) being honest, 2) proving a quality product, and 3) being a responsive landlord, I was able to find tenants quickly through my network.

Hey Kyle!

Welcome. The BP community is truly awesome. 

Although I am not familiar with BU, I've invested in student rentals in Dearborn, Michigan. Generally speaking, it has been great. It's rare that you have a nightmare experience that you might imagine from a frat house.

Shoot my a message if you have any specific questions.

Again, welcome.

Welcome @Heinz Mikat, 

I don't know of another community that is as great at delivering information without sales pitches. You're in good hands.

Let's go. Building wealth one good (I think) decision at a time.

Thank you @Marc Winter, @Damaso Bautista, and @Marisa R. for the congratulations. I couldn't have done it without tremendous people in my life.

Hello all,

I got started in real estate at 19 years old when I closed on a junky $59,500 barn-looking-house 4 miles away from the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I distinctively remember the fear of the unknown the first night that I slept in the place on an air mattress. No tenants lined up, aesthetic rehab planned, and a lot of motivation to live for free.

Fast forward: I got the bug somewhere around 2016 and continued to buy a rental or two every year. In 2019 I'll get another 3. My father helped me along the way with both acquiring financing and DIY. With great influencers throughout my life, being the next Dan Gilbert for Detroit is the goal.

Great to be here. Bigger Pockets has proven to be a phenomenal community of knowledge and helpfulness. Please, ask me anything I may be able to help you with. I know a little bit about college rentals, DIY, and grit. If you're in the area, I'd be happy to meet.

Best,

Alex

Thank you again.

You're the man Doug! Thanks for the reply and starting point for my mom.
