Looking to build my first single family house

[Alex L.]

I have done small flips and rehabs over the years and mostly a buy n hold type of investor. I'm about to close on a lot in Chicago logan square shortly and thinking about tearing down the 2-flat for a new single family.

Can anyone who has done this help point me to the right direction? How should I even get started?

Yo @Alex L. - What area of Logan Square is the lot in and how big is the lot?  

I've dabbled in the new construction space here in Chicago and there is A LOT that goes into it...I'd highly suggest spending some 1:1 time networking with some other investors like @Jennie Berger or @Prashanth Mahakali who are both Chicago developers

You make your money with the land purchase and then systems/processes/volume over time in the development game, but it's not easy and competition is high!

I am also happy to link up and share my experience in the new construction space.
