I've been a field superintendent at GCs, and now I work on the product/data team of a construction cost data company.

I agree with your underlying point that it’s an over-saturated field however.  

.$2,000,000 is going to improvements to the riverfront park adding playgrounds and splash pads.Since 2022 a feasibility study has been going on for a regional sports complex boasting 16 soccer/football fields, 8 baseball diamonds, 50 meter indoor pool, gym, track, and waterpark.There are several more project revamping old warehouse building turning them into trendy new dining and retail spaces.

As a novice in the real estate investment field, I am embarking on my first property flip project.

I am new to Bigger Pockets was wondering in gaining insight about this real estate field I have some properties already I'm trying to gain information on was also wondering if any of you would be interested in working together discussing properties possibly even discussing contracts would make it easier if we could swap information as well thank you to all of you that reply back

She said for me being on day four of this I’m already doing very well and that I have a lot of potential in this field she suggested that I don’t focus so heavily on trying to get a list of buyers because trying to find a property is gonna be more difficult.

I am a total newbie when it comes to CRE  due to my background is coming from information technology field for over 20+ years.

However, it can be difficult for someone without mentorship or experience in their field.

You can select "IND" in the area field on your Illinois MLS.  

NOI of 22.8k seems optimistic, though not out in left field.
