I grew up in Central IL and have zero interest in investing in the area.

I love the idea of fix & flip right now @Abigail King, especially right now here in Chicago and I am sure it is similar for you in central Illinois -- it's winter so there are way less buyers and if you can get under contract soon you can likely rehab over the winter months and hit the spring market!   

Is anyone here a real estate investor in the Central IL area?

How is the Belleville, IL area?

I’m Christian Dozier, a licensed real estate agent with The Nate Evans Group/EXP Realty, proudly serving the Champaign/Urbana area.

I would start here: Get a Real Estate License in Illinois - Illinois REALTORS - You need to take a 75 hour course and then pass the state and national exam...shouldn't be a problem for you!

In addition to running the "Illinois Real Estate Investors Association", I manage a mobile home park in Belleville, IL.

Hi! Currently I manage my own SFH portfolio of 7 doors. Currently don’t have a license. I have the opportunity to manage someone else’s 10 unit commercial building. Just from google search it says I need a real estate...

I am Abigail and I am looking to become a creative real estate investor in the Central IL area.
