New Investor In Chicago

Hey everyone, I'm a new investor in the Chicagoland area. I've done a few wholesale deals with help from a mentor in his own real estate investing company but I've been looking to get into fix and flip properties. I've been a realtor for about 6 months now, and looking to continue that while developing a fix and flip business as well. I love reading the posts on this site and really learned a lot. I just wanted to reach out and introduce myself and see if there is anyone available who can help me grow my business.

welcome terry. My projects are in the chicagoland area as well. I took the same path as you, I wholesaled deals at the start of my career and have developed a fix and flip business since. For fix and flips make sure you have a relationship with a contractor that you trust. Make sure to get references from this contractor before you use them. B/c if you pick the wrong contractor it could shrink or eliminate your profit all together.
