 very interesting, thanks for sharing the link! I kinda like the look, I wonder if there are any plans to bring this to the Midwest...

Hi Everyone,

I am making a commitment to be more active on here, and going to try to post here a few times a month and also answer questions from my perspective for the younger investors.

As the title suggests, I am a long time RE investor, have 3 properties 2 of which I rent out (one is cash flowing $700/mo , YES) I control 1M in assets, have about 250k in equity total. I want to spend the rest of my life developing Real Estate but I am new to construction. I am looking into purchasing a plot of land somewhere around my state of Illinois to give myself leverage and motivation to develop it. Any advice is greatly appreciated, below are a few of the questions I am kicking around curious if anyone with experience can weight in:

1. What is the best way to network with successful developers?

2. I am currently a utility engineer making over 100k/ yr, should I consider pivoting into the developer or construction management space for experience?

3. If so, what are some good certs or proven path to break into employment in those areas?

4. How in the world can I find a great reviewed CPA that will help with my tax situation? I am even willing to overpay for some great help

I think those 4 are good for now, feel free to answer 1 or none if they sound silly lol.

Thanks in advance and look forward to connecting more with folks on here!

 I was considering the mentlring befkre reading these reviews. What other courses specifically would folks recommend for building sfh?

I would think the deposit is fair game, pretty sure it would be in my state of IL to cover the back rent.

Something that i have heard works great but have not had to use is "cash for keys". Sorry to dig in more but this would have probably been a better option in the beginning where you tell him that you would give him a set amount of money to leave to assist with him making arrangements paid only when his stuff is all gone. Sorry you had to go through this, wish you the best moving forward. 

Yup, I work for ComEd and can confirm your electrician is correct. I would still get a few more quotes, that estimate seems a little high.

Hi, 

I am a native of Brookfield, looking forward to this event to meet other investors in the area to share ideas and learnings.
