New guy in Chicago looking forward to rehab some properties

[Alexander Burdeinyi]

Hi everyone, new to BP, looks like this is a great place for both real estate networking and getting advise from experienced people. I have some experience in buying, rehabbing and selling residential properties. Last year I've done 4 deals with my parter and local GC in Madison WI. Now I'm here in Chicago trying to do the same. I'm working on getting my real estate broker's license, also meeting GCs and subcontractors. I can also do a lot of carpentry work myself, therefore I have knowledge of rehab process. I would appreciate any advice on geographic areas to get started in Chicagoland, current market; possibly meet local pros for potential partnership.
