Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

@Jennie Berger gave you the whole kit & caboodle on Chicago zoning so I don't have a ton to ad, however, I'd highly encourage you to engage an architect like @Samuel Pavlovcik or @Prashanth Mahakali, both are awesome local Chicago resources.

What's the zoning on the property and do you have a relationship or contact with the local rep? 

Did you try a local CU or bank for a construction to permanent loan?

Have you gone to any local meetups? 

Are you considering expanding locally or branching out to other areas?

You could start with your agent or a local agent who supports investors and could have contacts to refer to you.Lastly, you could consider negotiating with a local PM to take on a hybrid approach to management.  

I'm a local investor, flipper, and property management company owner.  

Send them a written notice of non-renewal, following your local laws about how much notice you need to give.

I'd rather invest with the local 26 year old who lives in their second house-hack, drives their 10 year old car, and is raising their first small apartment syndication that they will self-manage, putting their own money into the deal, than some 45-year old guru who's secret sauce turned out to be their ability to charm on TikTok, but really, their approach to deals ended up being the "secret" to transforming $300M in real estate into $215M between 2021 and 2025.
