Great Information For All Investors

Great Information For All Investors

For the past five years, I have been doing all I can to share valuable information to both seasoned and newbie investors to protect them from common mistakes. I also take pride in educating local and out-of- state- investors about how things work here in Chicago and in the Chicago suburbs. I share the differences  between county laws, local ordinances, and the ins and outs of being a profitable landlord.  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.
