Recognize being the GC is work, requires strong organization skills (especially with tight timelines), decent communication skills, and design skills.I have acted as GC many times and have done well on these rehabs but I recently completed a large rehab (completed mid May).  

Often newer investors want things to cashflow and cover their mortgage, but the riches in real estate (in my opinion) are in GAINING EXPERIENCE......so consider just finding a property where if you were to rent in the same neighbhorhood your mortgage is less than that amount (less rental income as well) - that to me is a win period...Are you looking at any specific areas of chicago?
