Are you local here?

I say start there, exhaust your local efforts before jumping toward "shiny things" and unknown markets, persons etc.. 

As U.S. citizens residing in Europe, we are required by the local tax code to hold the property in our personal name.

In suburban Chicago, historical significance or celebrity ties might create a niche appeal, but they won’t necessarily drive up the home’s market value in the same way as location, condition, and local comps.For a short-term rental, though, it could be a great marketing angle—especially if the person is well-known and has a strong local connection.

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

I am a local Realtor and I work with an amazing team of lenders, title companies, and contractors.

While I’m new to the business, I’m eager to learn, grow, and connect with local investors, landlords, and fellow real estate professionals.

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

We’re not just buying properties; we’re creating them—tailored multifamily projects that meet local demand and deliver cash flow from day one.

However, investing locally has become increasingly unfeasible and unrealistic due to the high costs.
