Investor in Berwyn Illinois
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie in Berwyn IL, I bought my first property in Sept of 2016. I'm looking to connect to Investors and Landlords locally and gain knowledge about the industry.
I'm also a CPA who would love to answer questions about tax credits and such.
Hope to connect with you soon!!

Hi Jay,
I did a house in Brookfield last year. I know that area well. Berwyn and Cicero are highly competitive markets. It is best to market for offline off market properties.
Be aware the building departments are a nightmare if you don't know what to do.
If I had a desire to work Berwyn I would only use a contractor that has done 4 or more remodeles in the last year.
Always go to the building departments and find out what their requirements are. In Berywn they seem to not honor their own codes.
Have a decent spread. You will spend more then you budget for.
Every town has different requirements.
Hope this helps.
