The Course
Ready to turn Chicagoland properties into profitable flips? This course breaks down the entire process—from neighborhood-level market reads and finding on- and off-market deals to running ARV comps, raising capital, bidding rehabs, and managing contractors. You’ll also learn risk checks unique to the region, like local permitting.
By the end, you’ll have a repeatable underwriting model, scope-of-work templates, lender and contractor vetting checklists, and case studies from city and collar-county projects to guide your next move. Expect hands-on analysis of Chicagoland suburban comps, plus real numbers on carrying costs, taxes, and exits so you can buy right and sell faster. Whether you’re new or scaling up, you’ll walk away confident in sourcing, renovating, and exiting flips that actually pencil in today’s Chicagoland market.
What you will learn
I started this course by reverse‑engineering the exact path a first-time Chicagoland flipper needs, then shaping it into a practical, step-by-step playbook you can follow without guesswork. You’ll learn how to choose the right neighborhoods, run Chicago-savvy comps, estimate rehab and permits, structure financing, manage contractors, and plan a profitable exit—with clear examples, simple language, and zero fluff. I carefully crafted each lesson from real deals and common rookie mistakes, and packed it with checklists, calculators, worksheets, and scripts you can plug right into your first project. Everything is organized in bite-size modules that build logically, with action steps at the end so you always know what to do next and why it matters.
