I also have nationwide connections and would be happy to introduce you to contractors if you can share more details about your project scope and specific needs.

Hello BP Community,Pleasure to introduce myself.

I am excited to introduce myself as I continue to learn about the world of real estate investing. 

@Barbara Potts - you should check out PassivePockets.com - a new platform we introduced just yesterday!

Chicago has plenty of opportunities for value-add projects, and I'd be happy to share some insights or introduce you to a few local investors I've worked with.Feel free to reach out if you want to talk strategy or specific neighborhoods!

Most attention has been directed towards buyers and buyer agency in response to the agreed upon settlement which introduces the possibility of fee shifting depending on whether a cooperating fee is offered.

Best,Rebeccaps - @Scott Trench - thanks for encouraging newbies like me to introduce ourselves on this forum! 

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

Introduced to a GC through a mutual friend.

DC we will see legislation introduced in the pretty soon future.
