Evictions definitely should not take 12 months even in Chicago. Have you thought about starting a lease termination? Usually 45-60 days. Your attorney will be able to get this done properly. Best of luck

Nice post @Blake Pieroni, I agree with @Bruce Woodruff. In addition, having a calculated plan and doing your due diligence. Not doing a deal just to do deal but staying disciplined is important but not letting fear highjack your decision-making abilities.

One of the key elements of real estate investment, is the process of finding deals.

In addition, networking, networking and more networking can go along way. Going to meet ups in your area. Talking to existing syndications that you are apart of would help.

Hi @Jordan Santiago congratulations on the 23+ units. That is a great milestone at your age. I would recommend like a few others on here to invest in smaller multifamily first build up report with your investors and really form that relationship and it will grow from there with word of mouth and referrals. Having a few raises under you will go along way and on the way to that 100MM. Also maybe doing a Co GP as well will help. Best of luck!

@Eduardo Bilbao renovations and replacements take time and also being prepared for emergencies like a new roof, plumbing breaking etc. If it is a long term hold even having different phases of renovation. Prioritizing and figure out the useful life of everything in your budget is important. Best of luck!
