@Lumi Ispas - Could you send me the contact information for your 203K general contractor.  Thank you!

Thanks @Brie Schmidt! Having these estimates are helpful as I’m looking at potential properties.

@Jason Albasha Thanks for your input!  I'm just getting started, therefore still learning about all potential variables.  At this point, I'm probably going to start with an investment that doesn't need this much work.  

@John Warren Thanks for the advice! I did reach out to Brie a few days ago about investing these neighborhoods. 

Hi All. I'm a new investor planning to purchase a 2/3 unit property within the next year (in Roscoe Village / Lakeview).  Curious if anyone has experience with rehabbing multi-unit properties? I would really like to get a rough estimate of what the following could cost.

HVAC install for all units

Dig down basement and build out to make 1st floor an owners duplex down (2 bed, 1-2 bathroom depending on space, rec room)

Adding laundry (stackable) in each unit

I have had discussions with a realtor and one contractor, however curious in getting more opinions.  Just joined bigger pockets and excited to get connected with other investors in the city!

Hi All!

I'm a long time listener to the Bigger Pockets podcast!  I finally decided to make the leap and join the community as I'm planning to invest in my first multi-family property this year.  I have lived / worked in the city of Chicago for 8 years and love it!  My goal is to invest in the north side of the city (Lakeview / Roscoe Village). 

Just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone!  See you on the boards.
