Property Drive-Bys (Chicago)
Good Evening All,
I am an out of state investor looking to buy my first property in Chicago. I have my team established and I’m ready to pull the trigger. The only obstacle I am facing is seeing enough properties and the surrounding neighborhoods. Is there anybody out there, local, have time to drive around certain properties, and provide video of the property and neighborhood? Could anyone provide advice on how to overcome that growing pain of being an out of state investor and wanting to view as many properties as possible other than pictures?
Thanks

Thank you for the feedback. I know nobody would scout for free. I have paid every scout that I’ve worked with. Just wanted to know how I could recruit more scouts to work with me.
