Introduction - Cook County(IL) & Lake County (IN)

[Marcus Streeter]

Hello my name is Marcus and I am just starting to utilize my BP profile for something other than the podcast and calculators. Just looking to network with people in and around the Chicagoland area. Always looking for SFR to 4 units and to get advice from all you experts out there. IE: just ran into an issue with cook county DEMO court (what a headache this will be).

Hey @Marcus Streeter, good call on jumping into the threads here on BP. There are a lot of knowledgeable people happy to provide a lot of great insight and information!

I am an Architect based out of Chicago and do a lot of work in the surrounding suburbs as well. I am new to REI but joined the forum to begin to learn and absorb anything I can about best practices and processes and hopefully learn as much as I can from other peoples mistakes so that I make fewer of them on my own.(Wishful thinking I know...)

Cook County can be one of the biggest pains around to deal with on projects. All of their processes seem to be *** backwards, and every time you talk to someone it feels like their goal is to not let you accomplish the only thing you were trying to get done...

Feel free to reach out if you have any architectural questions for projects in the area!
