What I Want to Accomplish I want to provide nice housing in the form of renting out SFH's, multi's and many-unit properties and to be a solid, friendly but firm, reliable landlord to families and young professionals around my area due to growing up with my family under a "slum-lord."

That's an architecture firm that basically pioneered doing them... and they have some extremely useful pdf downloads that explain how the ordinance works and what sorts of lots work best.

It was hosted by a REI Firm.

I am seeking a very experienced Residential Construction Manager in the Greater Chicago Area.   If someone knows of a person who is qualified please let me know.  I have 4 projects ready to go now and at least 25 more...

@Jason Kern I have a few attorneys, one firm handles transactional law related to purchase agreements and loan agreements (actually I use three different firms for this depending on where the property is), another firm handles my syndication legal which includes PPMs, subscription agreements and operating agreements, and I have another firm for general business law. 

I briefly had my own one man firm going for a hot minute back in the 00's and quickly decided it was a lot of extra work (having to make sure you file all the various forms, maintain a 100% perfect trust account, etc and if you make even an honest mistake and get caught, then its all on you and its not good!)

The banks agent came back and said 130k FIRM!  

I know a pure option needs a firm strike price.

If I don't want to be the PM or I am not doing a good job, we could hire a local firm.

I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around.
