Looking to Scale and Network
Hi All!
I'm currently looking to acquire more deals and would appreciate any tips on finding legitimate private lenders. I have vetted and used contractors over the years, but the only thing holding me back is funding.
Also, if anyone is currently investing or looking to invest on the south and southeast sides of Chicago, please feel free to connect. I’d love to answer any questions, brainstorm, and help wherever I can. I currently own a duplex and a sfh (my primary resi) on the south side of Chicago.
