Anyone recommend a good contractor in Chicago? Preferably one that has worked with out-of-state investors. Thank you in advance!

@Jimmy Woodard does it require plans and permits or can you get away with not having to do that?  Anything major or just putting back together a house to make it functional?  If you are putting 40k into it I am hoping you are getting this place for 50k or under to account for the money going in and risk.  A 40k project in West Pullman will take you 90-150 days so account for your carry cost and potentially security.  Things like appliances and windows are slow to be delivered these days so account for the Covid chain supply when it comes to certain improvements.
