It's great to see another female developer here in Chicago :)I've also been developing properties in Chicago for the past five years – everything from SFH gut rehabs to new construction single-family homes and small multi-unit buildings.While I'm currently taking a bit of a development 'hiatus' to focus on scaling my private lending operations, I'm always enthusiastic about connecting with other developers and aspiring developers in our area, especially fellow women in the field.I'd love to connect with you, whether virtually or perhaps in person sometime if you're open to it.Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in! 

These arrangements might not always be formal job listings—you may need to reach out proactively and offer your services, perhaps as an independent contractor or virtual assistant if remote support is feasible.Additionally, getting licensed as a real estate salesperson or property manager (depending on your state’s requirements) can open more doors and signal that you’re serious.

Even if my cost was double the cost of the halfbathroom addition in Cleveland, I got at least 5x the value of the Cleveland addition for virtually the same effort,A brrrr is a long strategy.  

Happy to connect in person or virtually, whatever works best.

It can work but it is typically not without risk (at least not in this market, I have done some in the past that seemed to have virtually no risk).As for out of state, it is full of risk.  

If you want to build faster equity, the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) might be a great fit, especially with your savings stacking monthly.Partner up – You could also consider teaming up with someone more experienced to learn the ropes while minimizing risk.Start networking now — join local or virtual real estate meetups, BiggerPockets forums (you're in the right place!)

There are virtually zero multi family properties near me.

Lately, I've also been a big fan of virtually staging photos to show the house/apartment with furniture just in case there is not furniture currently in the house/apartment.  

It is also a very happy owner who allowed flexibility in the midst of it all—and is now thrilled to have had a smooth transition between tenants, with an adequate scope of work, a plan for and virtually no impact to income.It is also me, happily gifting this trim "damage" from the disposition letter.

I have virtually zero turnover annually which cuts down the costs of turning a unit.
