If you’re weighing options in Chicago or have an eye on emerging neighborhoods in that city, I can get you in touch with someone who knows their way around the Windy City’s rental regs and local quirks.

I am in Chicago and could see someone charge $65k, but not in rural Illinois. 

Hello,My name is Luke Helliker, and I’m an investor based in Chicago.

I love the idea of fix & flip right now @Abigail King, especially right now here in Chicago and I am sure it is similar for you in central Illinois -- it's winter so there are way less buyers and if you can get under contract soon you can likely rehab over the winter months and hit the spring market!   

If you're considering such investments in areas like Omaha, Austin, San Antonio, Chicago, or Phoenix, I'd be happy to leverage my experience and network to assist you further.Best of luck with your investing journey!

That means being able to spot what to stay away from.Don't chase bears with bee bee guns.

I’ve got a network that stretches into San Antonio, Phoenix, Chicago, and beyond... from what I’ve heard, when you team up with the right people, you’re not just investing in a property, you’re investing in a support system.

I will definitely be looking for local investor meetup events around the Chicago and greater Chicago area.

. - I was in a VERY similar situation here in Chicago, but I had less experience working on my own than you.I had a piece of land that I owned free and clear, but since I didn't have any development experience, most of the banks wouldn't talk to me. 

Hey @Felicia Richardson - I can not speak directly to Atlanta, but we do a ton of Fannie May Homestyle renovation loans up here in Chicago.
