University Park Rental owners. I have a perfect addition to your portfolio with a small 2/1 townhouse attached garage. The HOA allows rentals so this thing is a cleaning away from tenants. Cashflow ready. The market rents are around 2000 so you could be conservative at 1800 and still cash flow well. Priced @ 115k Contact me for more Information and Pictures

Closing Day! 🏡❤️🍾🎉
So excited for my first-time homebuyers!! They just closed on their new home on Washington St. in Morris!

Here’s a fun little fact: when Morris was established in 1842, Washington St. was included on the original town plat — meaning my buyers are now officially part of Morris history, owning a home on one of the oldest streets in town!

Wishing them many happy years ahead in their new home ❤️ From very caring sellers to very caring buyers — this house is truly in good hands🙌

This month has been a ride and its just the start of Q4! I got an on market transaction under contract and we should be closed by EOM (thats about 15 days from contract to close if it closes by the 31st and we are shooting for earlier so dont let your realtor or lender tell you it cant be done😉)

~Yes I can still operate with on market listings/clients~

On top of the on-market transaction for my soon to be homeowners! I am scheduling an off-market closing today as well that will be closed by EOM also💯🤙 that was a long time coming waiting for some legal jump rope about 2 months contract to close (dont let your realtor tell you it cant happen😉🤣 we dont like to see this one as much but its the real part of the business and the key is to be open and communicate quickly and honestly)

And with the 2 closings being scheduled I am hoping to get another offmarket property under contract today for an investor as long as the sewer lines run okay!🤞💪

With the year slowing down this is the time we can make some things happen.

Ready for opportunity?!

🚧 Chicago Zoning Changes = More Opportunity & More Homes

Chicago has been rolling out zoning updates across several neighborhoods (Chatham, Morgan Park, South Chicago, Western Ave + more). The goal? To allow more “missing middle” housing — duplexes, 3-flats, small apartment buildings — where only single-family homes were allowed before.

✅ This means more units on the same lots.
✅ More housing options for renters & buyers.
✅ More opportunities for everyday investors and families to build wealth.

Here’s the truth: local investors and small developers are not the reason housing affordability is strained. They’re the ones taking the risk, putting in the work, and often keeping neighborhoods vibrant.

The real upward pressure on pricing and scaricity of availability often comes from large corporations and hedge funds — firms that buy thousands of homes at once, hold them, and push up rents and sale prices across entire markets.

👩‍👩‍👦 As local investors, homeowners, and community members, we play a different role:

Adding housing supply

Revitalizing underused lots

Creating family-level wealth, not corporate profits

The bottom line: more zoning flexibility = more opportunity for Chicago residents, not just corporations.

My 5 P’s to Financial Literacy

1. Pay Yourself First
Always save before you spend. Park it in a HYSA (high-yield savings account). Pause that savings only if you need to comfortably reduce debt.

2. Prioritize & Attack Debt
Choose the method that works best for you (avalanche, snowball, or hybrid). The key is consistent progress.

3. Purchase Assets, Not Liabilities
Invest in things that grow your wealth and avoid what drains it.

4. Pay It Forward
Share what you learn. Teach others, and when possible, cover the unexpected for those who can’t.

5. Play Freely
Life is a subscription — make more than you need so you can live without constant financial stress.
