For All People Who Invest, This Is A Great Set Of Information.

For All People Who Invest, This Is A Great Set Of Information.

For five years, I've been sharing valuable tips to both newbie and seasoned investors to keep them safe from common mistakes. I take pride in educating local and out-of-state investors about Chicago's laws, as well as Chicago's suburbs. I tell them how things work here, and what to expect. All of this information stems from my experience as an investor, specializing in the BRRRR strategy, and as an owner of a Property Management Firm that has the opportunity to view real estate investing from many different angles.  

A lot of the stories I share come from valuable lessons I learned as I talk about mistakes we made or discuss ways we would do things differently given another opportunity. I believe there is nothing better than learning from other people's experience and mistakes to limit your risk exposure on your own deals.  

There are numerous podcasts I have recorded and blogs I have written on this website that support what I have just mentioned. These provide a general insight of what we have accomplished and the road we took to get there.  I have also shared below, the link to my Bigger Pockets Blog page where I have over 25 great articles that any investor would appreciate and benefit from reading.   

Whether you are a seasoned investor, or beginner looking to purchase your first property, reach out to me  anytime by sending an email or scheduling a time to talk using the button below.

Price is what you pay, Value is what you get! I want to provide value to others and make some money along the way. I have a solid foundation in Chicago real estate because I am a Real Estate investor in both Residential and Commercial/Industrial markets while being a founding partner at GC Realty & Development LLC and co-host of Straight Up Chicago Investor Podcast. In the last 20 years we renovated 500+ properties, invested in commercial properties, managed over 7000 units/tenants, leased over 4,000 properties, featured on CNBC’s TV show The Deed, co-host on Chicago's AM560 Real Estate Revealed Radio Show, and invited to speak & sit on panels at numerous investment summits across the country. I have also been blessed with the opportunity to be a guest on over 30 top podcast platforms. GC Realty & Development, LLC, currently manages over 1,200 investment properties throughout the Chicagoland area. In 2019, 2020, 2020 and 2022, GCR&D was featured on the Inc. Magazine list of top 5,000 fastest growing companies in the United States. I take great pride in providing valued feedback to beginners and less experienced entrepreneurs on what steps not to take or what steps to take sooner in growing a younger business.
