build your team

In real estate investing, you hear about the importance of building your team to help you on your real estate journey. We often see investors put the wrong people on their team and that has a large opportunity cost for their progress early on. Working with the wrong people is never intentional, it just ends up being experimental for many.

Mark & Tom have been forming their teams for years and have changed out players as needed. To help other investors accelerate their growth, Mark & Tom want to share their network with the Straight Up Chicago Investor Community. Below is a group of potential team members you can reach out to see if they can be a good fit for your growing team. Remember someone on your team is only the right fit for you if it makes sense for your scenario so these options may not work for everyone.
