How the Process Works
Four easy steps for securing your real estate investment
We Review Your Project
Our team of experts will quickly review and assess the value of your property, including After Repair Value, and determine whether the deal meets our criteria for loan approval.
Loan Approval and Documentation
Once your loan is approved, our team will work to collect all the necessary information and documentation in order to ensure we meet your target closing date. In addition, we’ll provide additional details on closing costs and fees required to finalize your loan.
Closing the Deal
At closing, our team will provide the funds needed to help you secure your property while providing you with the final amounts required to secure the loan, as well as kickstarting your initial repair budget. Once you sign, we get to work on helping ensure your project is successful and completed within the loan term.
Get Involved
If you're not ready to invest today, educate yourself and begin to build your network. Here are some Illinois based organizations where you can get started.
As in any business, success in real estate investment stems from a thorough understanding of the market, sharp financial skills, efficient property management, and a robust network of professionals. The real estate industry is dynamic, necessitating continuous learning and adaptability. Additionally, building a strong network helps fast-track the discovery of opportunities, formation of partnerships, and provision of guidance, making the investment process smoother and more beneficial. This is where Real Estate Investment Associations (REIAs) provide immense value. They offer an abundance of educational content, networking events, and mentorship programs that can help investors at all stages of their journey.
- Illinois Real Estate Investors Association (ILREIA): This association aims to help members increase their real estate investing knowledge and activities. It offers monthly meetings with expert speakers, networking events, and an extensive library of educational content. The ILREIA prides itself on fostering a supportive community where real estate investors can learn and grow.
- Chicago Area Real Estate Investors Association (CAREIA): Dedicated to promoting ethical real estate investing and enhancing the local investing community, CAREIA provides education, motivation, and networking opportunities for its members. They offer regular meetings, workshops, and seminars to help investors achieve their goals.
- Chicago Creative Investors Association (CCIA): CCIA is a resource-rich hub for real estate investors. They focus on providing educational content, networking opportunities, and support for investors in the Chicago area. Their offerings range from monthly meetings to special events and workshops.
- Lake County Property Investors Association (LCPIA): Serving the Lake County area, LCPIA is a platform that supports the educational and networking needs of individuals interested in real estate investing. From monthly meetings to special seminars and workshops, the association aims to provide its members with the tools necessary to succeed.
Additionally, investors can greatly benefit from more expansive national platforms like BiggerPockets, Zillow, and Trulia.
BiggerPockets is a comprehensive online community offering a multitude of resources, including free content like blogs and podcasts, as well as a marketplace and networking opportunities.
Zillow serves as a leading online real estate marketplace, providing vital data on local and national markets. With its exhaustive database and refined search features, Zillow makes it an ideal tool for finding investment opportunities.
Trulia is another inclusive real estate platform that offers detailed property listings and local information, including neighborhood insights and crime statistics.
Leveraging these broader platforms, in addition to local REIAs, allows investors to gain a comprehensive perspective of the real estate landscape, from local trends to national market dynamics. These resources not only offer essential information for making informed investment decisions but also link you to a wider community of professionals. By using a mix of local REIAs and larger national platforms, investors can truly maximize their potential for success in real estate investing.
