 Will do, @Drew Sygit. Thanks for the reminder. 

You got it!  Building is located in Andersonville, Crystal. 

Thanks! We’re really excited to get this project kicked off. Appreciate the recommendations @John Warren

Hey All - 

Reaching out to see if anyone has any recommendations for good general contractors in the Chicago area. We just bought our first house hack here in Chicago. The building is an older 2-unit multifamily building. We are looking for someone that can help us upgrade the property and also help us convert one of the units into an Airbnb fairly quickly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the support and Happy New Year!

 @Michael Baum - Thanks for guidance and the link to the city STR application. We're gonna source a few contractors to determine what we can do and what we need the professionals to tackle. With it being an older building we just want to avoid as many surprises as possible that we may not be qualified to handle. Appreciate the response!

Hey Community - 

We're excited to share that we just closed on a 2-unit multifamily on the north side of Chicago. We plan to house hack and turn one of the units into an Airbnb. Although the building is an older building the unit is in pretty good shape and needs mostly cosmetic rehab/repairs. I'm reaching out to see if anyone can recommend any general contractors that have experience/expertise in light rehabs for converting units into Airbnb properties. We plan to mainly focus on the kitchen and bathroom right now and do additional work down the road as the listing starts to stabilize. 

We are also open to anyone that has any guidance/advice for the best way to approach this stage in our journey to rehabbing our new building as well as anyone that is currently going through the process and has any good hacks that can help us launch our Airbnb quickly. 

We're really excited about this process as we've been following BP for years and it's great to be finally putting all the great advice into action. 

Thanks again for any and all help the community can offer. Happy Holidays! 

 Very helpful, @Andrew Postell. I will share these questions with her and she explores the best next steps for her situation. 

Thanks for the recommendation @Alex Fenske!

Hey Everyone!

Reaching out to the community to see if there are any good mortgage brokers in the Dallas area. My really good friend is a single mom and is looking to buy her first home but is struggling with high student loan debt and wants to find a broker that can help her understand her best options to home ownership. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
