Show Notes
In this week's episode, Sean Morrissey of Chicago Realty Group LLC breaks down investing in and around Aurora, focusing on the downtown redevelopment taking place to bring the old riverboat city back into the spotlight. Aurora is full of diverse opportunities, including tax credits, and unique zoning discrepancies that allow the clever investor the ability to redevelop mis-zoned land. Sean also explains how certain parts of Aurora fall into neighboring town school districts, which allow for pockets of strong investment opportunity.
