Building a Team in Melrose Park, IL

Hi all! I just had my first offer ever accepted on a 4-unit building in Melrose Park, IL over the weekend! I'm currently working with my real estate agent to close the deal (hopefully). I'll be using this building as a house hack while renting out the other 3 units. Since I will be living on the property, I plan to manage it myself.

Now that I have my first property in the works, I need to build a team. I need recommendations for a local handyman, plumber, tax accountant, etc. And while we are at it, I'd also gladly take recommendations for property managers and rental listing agents just in case!

Any and all recommendations are welcome. I'm excited to hear back from all of you, and thank you for helping me through this process!

Once I close on the building and get it up and running, I'll be sure to share more information on my deal with all of you :) Hopefully it is a success!

You are now a business person and need to join a local group of investors. Find a group and join ASAP. They will have all of the contacts that you need and you will be hanging out with like minded people.
