New Member from Chicago - Hello!
Hello Everybody,
I'm super excited to be a part of this community. I can't believe I've been missing out on all the fun. First let me tell you a little bit about my background and then I will tell you what I'm looking to get and give at this moment from this community.
For over 10 years I've been doing Sales almost exclusively. I've sold as a sales associate at a retail store, I've sold products door to door, sold new and used cars, sold banking products when I was a banker and Mortgage Lender and now I sell homes as a Real Estate Agent. It's been a wild ride and each position has taught me new skills. What I love about my Career now besides the Income potential is also the lifestyle I can lead because of it. My experience as a Mortgage Lender has also been incredibly valuable to me as I am able to profile new buyers or offers from buyers (when on the listing side) better then the average agent. While I'm not Mr. Mortgage King - the knowledge about different and guidelines I do have has not only allowed me to be more efficient but also to build strong relationships with lenders for referral as they know I won't generally send them prospects that won't qualify for a loan.
So here I am with six years of banking experience and two more years of being on the Agent side. Combined I've helped over a hundred individuals and families buy property and yet I have none. I need to change that now.
Here's what I'm looking for:
Single Family Homes in the Northside of Chicago and surrounding Chicago Suburbs to Flip. My partners and I are anxious to get our hands on a good deal. Depending on the deal we may be able to pay cash or use hard money lending with whom we've been in contact with. Wholesalers what do you got out there?
I'm also looking to meet great people, build connections and exchange ideas.
What I can give:
I have knowledge of the Chicago Real Estate Market, mortgage lending guidelines/programs and Building Credit and would be happy to get on a call or grab coffee with anyone to discuss. In addition, I have a network of contractors, handyman, plumbers, etc in the Chicagoland area that every successful Agent must have and would be happy to give you recommendations.
I'm really grateful for this community and look forward to growing with all of you.
Cheers!
Felipe
