With 25 years of experience in investing in rental properties, buying and selling for profit (flipping), we are excited to share our expertise through services that empower our clients to increase their net worth with proven strategies and predictable growth.

Whether this is your first time investing in real estate, or a seasoned veteran who has learned the hard way, you will appreciate our comprehensive method that encompasses all aspects of the investment process.

Most of our competitors approach real estate investment from only one perspective.

Gurus – Many of the real estate “gurus” sell their knowledge of how to invest for a fee, provide some references, motivate you to no end and ONLY tell you how wonderful it is on the other side. When you leave that seminar, the real-world kicks in and now it’s up to you to execute on your own. Our research shows that while this approach can be effective for a very select few, it places investors in often uncompromising and uncomfortable positions when making critical decisions. This often results in poor execution of the techniques learned and sometimes, flat-out FAILURE! If you don’t understand the interrelations of ALL aspects of a real estate transaction, a poor investment decision can mean lost time, money and loss of life earnings.
Realtors – Once someone is trained in investing in real estate, they’re usually instructed to find a Realtor who will help locate potential investment properties. Unfortunately, most Realty companies are not focused on helping investors locate profitable investments. In fact, the average Realtor you may encounter don’t have the education to really service you in this area because it’s not taught or required when getting a license. The primary focus of a traditional Realty company is to represent you to purchase or sell real estate and make commissions doing it. It is NOT their job to analyze your property, estimate construction cost or give you trends in a particular area. Most of them lack the understanding of your needs as an investor can lead to wasted time and/or poor investment choices. You can still benefit from a good relationship with a Realtor since they are extremely valuable when you know exactly what you are buying and able to perform your own analysis. Again, not having an understanding of the interrelations between ALL aspects of the transaction can be fatal.
Contractors – In many cases, after you purchase a property the need arises for either major or minor improvements. Most investors are recommended to a general contractor or handyman to make the improvements. Unfortunately, most contractors are only focused on making the agreed improvements and have absolutely no knowledge of real estate investing. This issue is crucial, especially when the contractor is feeding off your emotions and doing unnecessary work that increases their profits, ( extra money for them). Also, finding a good reliable contractor is like finding a needle at the bottom of the ocean. They are unfortunately the life or death of your investment. The goal for you as an investor is to increase your profits as a result of the contractor not reverse.

At KCI, we’ve analyzed these problems for 25 years and created a system to eliminate virtually ALL of the risk for you in making good and profitable real estate investment choices. Because each part of a real estate transaction is usually handled by a different company, each company has a very MYOPIC view of helping their clients. Usually, they are more interested in selling their knowledge (gurus), making a commission (realty companies) or selling their services (contractors) than helping you make money. Thus, most of their respective clients end up spending hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars on a poor real estate investment decision.

You understand the value of assembling a team of experts to accomplish outstanding results. KCI serves as your real estate team of experts. We’ve developed the only company in the Chicago area that can assist you or teach you how to invest by finding the property, making the necessary improvements and making sure your investments are profitable. This is done all under one roof! Literally. Our experience has shown us that many poor investments are due to a breakdown in one those areas. Our philosophy is to assess your investment objectives first.

With an understanding of your objectives and goals, we implemented a comprehensive investment strategy using our in-house resources to guarantee a more sound and profitable real estate investment. We’ve created a completely HANDS-OFF comprehensive New Real Estate Investment Program for those who just don’t have the experience, time or desire to get involved on the day-day tasks of real estate investing.

How can we do what we say?

Expertise. Eric V. Fullilove, the brain behind the machine, has been investing in real estate for 25 years, successfully buying and selling over $25 million dollars of real estate. Educated as an Electrical Engineer from the (Illinois Institute of Technology), The Armour College of Engineering, one the top Engineering Schools in the county, he brings a very unique approach and mind set to real estate investing. Understanding that a positive outcome in real estate investing hinges on a set of intricately linked transactions, his commitment to mastery in each area resulted in creating companies that will do this for you as an investor.
Unique Multi-Dimensional Approach. Unlike most of the Want To Be competition, which represents only one piece of a real estate transaction, you benefit from an organization that handles all phases of Real Estate Investing. There are no other companies in Chicago that does this honestly and effectively. This arrangement allows each critical area to communicate with the other, virtually eliminating risks usually associated with a real estate investment.
State-of-the Art Office. We are the only real estate company in our local area with a state-of-the-art full service brick and mortar location. Most real estate “gurus,” general contractors, or Realtors operate from home or some other fly-by-night arrangement. Because we stand for integrity, we’ve opened a beautifully remodeled office to demonstrate our commitment and show that we are here for the long run.

Therefore we have the following guarantee: If you allow us to locate a profitable investment, let us the make improvements, either re-sale it or manage the property and you don’t get pre-determined measurable results in 120 Days or less, then we will work with you until you do! Period.*

Our multi-dimensional approach to real estate really sets us apart from the competition. Access to the creator of the program also accelerates the process of improving your chances of success in your real estate investment endeavors and allows us to stand behind our services.

Our services

Our services include assisting you with the purchase of rental properties, either residential or multifamily, for long term investing and financial growth. In addition, we can guide you through buying, fixing and reselling properties for short-term investing. We teach you how to build a real estate portfolio, increase your net worth and develop a retirement plan.

If you don’t want to invest time in the process, we have added a NEW comprehensive Real Estate Investment Program so you can invest in real estate without the headaches!

I’m really scared to invest in real estate!

We all were scared and you should be scared. That’s a good sign of a careful investor. We understand the fears of investing in real estate: buying the wrong property, fraud, tenant management, repairs & maintenance, rehab & remodeling, vacancies, theft, lack of time, etc. Our Real Estate Investment Program was started specifically because of your fears. We realized through experience that if your investments are properly organized through a time-tested system, you will significantly lower your risk, thus lowering your fear. You benefit from our “education” – those many mistakes and same fears that were overcome by education and correction. Now you can capitalize on the safest and most profitable way of investing by using our counsel and system.

But, the stock market is better and safer

We believe in having a diverse portfolio that can withstand any market. If you are investing in the stock market which would include strategic trading, 401K, mutual funds, bonds, etc, historically your returns would average 10-15% over a 20-30 year period. If you really think about it, you are investing in a company or companies that you have absolutely no control over. In today’s volatile market, if you are 60 years or older and have been investing in the market for 30 years and now you want to retire and cash out your money, you may be in deep trouble! You may be in a position to either take a significant loss or hope for a break-even point sometime in the distant future.

What’s so special about real estate?

The beauty of real estate investing is that it’s the only investment that can allow you make money in both the long term and the short term simultaneously with a low and controlled risk. This simply means that if you purchased a rental property, you have the ability to make a monthly positive cash flow after all expenses while the value of your property will appreciate on an average of 5% per year. The stock market is giving you 10 – 15% over a 30-year period. Real estate gives you 150% over a 30-year period based on historical figures. Imagine multiplying the 150% by multiple properties, and you have positioned yourself to fund your retirement or your children’s education, generate residual income or take out lump sums of cash. Investing in real estate is clearly the biggest no-brainer in the history of the world!
