I'm a local realtor and investor, so I’d love to help you find the right property and navigate the market.

Using these parts of local zoning can lead to potential deals.  

Be very careful who you take advice from online, you should get involved with a local attorney and a local realtor.

Please message me and I can answer any questions you may have on real estate, local meetups or the local area.  

In one case they used a notary at the local US consulate.

Best bet though is a local community business bank.. 

@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.

I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.Thank you!
