Apartment buildings and income-producing residential properties with 5 or more units. Our sweet spot is 15–25 units, and we review larger communities with capital partners.

How do property taxes factor into a Lake County offer?
Property is assessed at the county level (the county seat is Waukegan), within Illinois rules. Illinois has some of the highest effective property tax rates in the country, and Cook County reassesses on a triennial cycle. We review your assessment history and likely post-sale taxes.
