The Chicago Tribune just recently reported on how locals and out-of-towners alike are in a rush to snap up homes for rehab, resale or, increasingly, to convert them into rental properties. The article points out that the housing analytics firm CoreLogic recently cast a national spotlight on the Chicago area, identifying it as one of the more attractive markets for a foreclosure-to-rental investment strategy. One of our investors, Sergey Bitelman was interviewed and he spoke about why he partnered with MACK to “capture below-market prices.”
MACK IN MOTION
MACK Companies is featured in Chicago Agent Magazine!
Chicago Agent Magazine proclaims that “MACK Companies Brings Luxury Back to Ex-NBA Player’s Mansion.” We must admit that this home was by far the most distressed property that we have ever worked on in this price range. The basement of the home was flooded and contained about 6,000 square feet of water that was about four feet deep. After removing the water, the entire 6,000 square feet had to be remodeled and extensive construction to bring the house back up to code standards after the damage had to be done.

MACK speaks to Chicago Agent about Realtor programs

“I’d buy up a ‘couple hundred thousand’ single family homes”
Warren Buffett recently appeared live on CNBC’s Squawk Box with Becky Quick and spoke about the opportunity associated with investing in single-family homes. Mr. Buffett says, “If I had a way of buying a couple hundred thousand single-family homes and had a way of managing them, I would load up on them.” Buffett goes on to say that if held for a long period of time and purchased at low rates houses are even better than stocks.
