Hello,

I am a Chicago investor and I am looking for a few reputable General Contractors (GC) in the South Loop Chicago Illinois area. I just bought a condo that is in a high rise and need painting, flooring, counter tops, and plumbing done as soon as possible. 

I would be more than appreciative and would be willing to offer some of my services if I pick the one you recommend.  

Thank you very much BP! :)

Looking for a reputable property manager in Northern Lake County Illinois. If you are one or know of one, private message me. Thank you.

Hey John,

My partner works with a company called Tried and True and they have a ton of experience with renovating REOs, foreclosures, and even do new construction. Let me know if you are interested. They only do business by word of mouth and typically only work for investors.

Great comment! Thanks for the insight. 

I know this is completely negotiable, but do realtors usually pay you for the leads themselves or only if the deals closes? How much do realtors typically pay for that?

What are some creative ways you are monetizing your direct mail leads?

I would find all 2 bed 2 baths that are on the market for sale and rent on the MLS and start contacting the Realtors to see if the sellers would be interested. You would need to spell out first how the Realtor would be paid so they are keen to help you if they have a motivated seller.

Its going to be a numbers game so you can't be too picky on the exact location/building.

Good luck.  

 Yea that's what I figured. People seem to shy away from this sort of thing.
