And talking with my leasing team, the properties that are moving quicker are on the lower end of the rental range $1450-1600.

Additionally, I'm working with the RE Ally Property management team, who was able to find a tenant to rent at slightly above market rates without any vacancy.

I've received new deadlines after deadlines from Wagner and the team. 

I have a robust team of mortgage lenders, title companies and RE attorneys.

Then you'll need to build a team of contractors to handle renovations and to help with things such as property inspections.

I was to start assembling a team together and am looking for any recommendations of contractors that will offer a little bit more hand-holding, as I am still fairly new to this process. 

And don’t forget to build a solid local team—agents, property managers, etc.

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

@Jacob Dalton, I'm going to have to agree with Jonathan Klemm (sorry, couldn't tag you) & @Brie Schmidt -- you can definitely be a successful landlord in Chicago with the right team in place.  1000's of investors do it every day. 

Best of luck building your team and making your investment work for you!
