I am a lifelong San Diegan, and I have house hacked every home I have ever lived in.

Whether you’re eyeing a historic greystone in Bucktown or a classic brick two-flat in Irving Park, the Windy City offers endless opportunities to grow your wealth.

We are a small partnership with 4-5 properties currently, but we are growing and hoping to find a reliable lending partner that we can do repeat business with.About 3 months ago, we successfully completed a BRRRR deal where we had excellent numbers, over a 1.25 ratio at 75% LTV, our guarantor partner has an 800+ credit score, and we had no issues qualifying for the loan.
