Value-add condo opportunity

Full-rehab potential near the University of Chicago.

Recommended exit strategy

Rehab, then resell to an owner-occupant.

The flip strategy is straightforward: acquire the condo, complete the full renovation, and sell the improved unit to an end buyer who will make it their primary residence. This opportunity is not being marketed or underwritten as a rental property.

The completed condo should be sold to an owner-occupant—not held as a rental.

Buyer due diligence

Property information, pricing, association estimates, rehab assumptions, occupancy requirements, and third-party records are deemed useful for preliminary review but are not guaranteed. Buyers must independently verify the exact unit, title, taxes, association financials and restrictions, condition, permits, square footage, repair scope, owner-occupancy requirements, buyer approval, and all transaction terms.
