@Tony & Andrea Stephan  It's truly gratifying to hear of your success here, particularly given that numerous operators we know have endeavored to achieve a similar feat but to no avail.Curious to know if this was 131 single family homes, several multifamily properties or one big complex?

Good luck with your endeavors in real estate!

I currently have own over 2 million in real estate on the emerald coast and would he happy to connector your endeavors. 

I am hoping to build the best possible team of Lenders,agents,contractors etc for this endeavor and create long lasting relationships so we can all continually be prosperous.

For your real estate journey, networking with other investors and developing a network in Chicago might lead to intriguing chances.If you have any specific questions or if there's anything you'd like advice on as you make this transition, feel free to ask.Best of luck with your endeavors, and may your real estate ventures be prosperous in both Houston and Chicago! 

Good luck with your endeavors.

Between time and expense the logical thing to do is to invest any future capital in a new endeavor and cut your losses.

Unless you have a solid team of realtor, contractor, and lender that you have developed trust with, the endeavor would be difficult to pull off well.That being said, I don't ever want to be the one to tell you not to try something, but if I were you and I was doing my first deal as a rehab, and my budget needed to be spot on, I would try and do it local so I could be there in person and turn it into a learning experience.

As I'm sure you know, BP can be an incredible resource.Good Luck in your endeavors!
