Duplex Development/Construction Chicago Suburbs

[Rob Blumenstein]

Evening all, 

Hope this post finds you well, feels like we have been running in circles for the last few months with no clear path in site. To which I turn to the most trusted community in RE.

Myself and two of my business partners are looking to start our journey in Real Estate development and am looking for some advice, we have experience in owning and managing rentals so none of that is new to us...just building the thing is.

We are looking to start developing duplex homes across the Chicagoland Suburbs but cannot find the right person to talk to that can give us a clear idea of where to start. We talked to a few builders and got quotes for $250+/sqft... nice :/ As well as some architects, to which we still have no clear vision. 

Really we are just looking for a place to start and the type of people to talk to. We feel like a GC is going to be the best place for us to start as we can get a ballpark on "reasonable" pricing as well as other referrals needed from there.

All in all any feedback, help, ideas, guidance, referrals or just anything else would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to hearing from some of you and your knowledge/ expertise is greatly appreciated.

-Rob,Greg, and Al
