On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast, I speak with Sen Morrissey, who is a real estate investor, broker, and property manager in Chicago. Sean got into the real estate business in 2001 when he bought a rental property. He was then able to quit his corporate job by becoming a real estate agent. He has bought 23 rentals and managed over 200 properties at one time as a property manager. Sean has a very interesting story, and we hear all about it on this week's show.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a 68,000 square foot commercial building for 2.1 million dollars. I bought this property with a partner, and also plan to open my own real estate office in the building. The building was a great deal, is less than one block from where I work now, and accomplishes one of the goals I set for 2018. I have been trying to buy a building like this for many years, and it feels awesome to finally do it. On this episode o the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I go over why I bought the building, my plans, the loan, and much more information.
I had big goals for 2018 and so far it is starting out with a bang. I bought a 68,000 square foot commercial property a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to buy a 50,000 square foot or larger building this year, and along with that goal I wanted to start my own real estate brokerage as well. Now that I have the building, I have already started to remodel the space I am going to move into. I wanted to start my own brokerage for a while, but I have had a lot of things going on, and I wanted to be able to rent space from myself. On this podcast I will go over why I want to start a brokerage and some of the things I have to do to make it all work.
