My family moved to Decatur in 1987 and, outside of college, I have been a Decatur area resident ever since then. My fascination in residential properties started at a young age. As a kid growing up in the Sunnyside Park area of Decatur I absolutely loved walking through the new homes that were popping up all over my neighborhood. If you have a house in that area built between 1987 and 1997, chances are I walked through it while it was being built! My interest in rehabilitation of old homes took off in 1997 when my family moved to an old Victorian style home in Cerro Gordo where we spent countless hours on various renovation projects. After graduating from Cerro Gordo High School I attended Illinois State University and University of Illinois to earn Bachelor of Science Degrees in Physics and Mechanical Engineering. During my Senior year of college I started reading real estate books that really peaked my interest in buying investment residential properties. At that time I somehow talked a bank into giving a poor college kid a loan to buy my first investment property in Bement while still attending U of I. After just over a year of heavy remodeling I was able to re-sell that home for a profit within a month of listing it! I continued my education while working as an Engineer at Caterpillar in Decatur by earning an MBA at Millikin. Along the way my wife and I have continued to build up our residential rental property business including properties in Mt. Zion, Decatur, Oreana, and Oakley. One of the real estate investment lessons I learned early on is the importance of building up a team of reliable people including an accountant, attorney, mortgage broker, and, most importantly, a real estate agent you can trust. The people I have worked with along the way have been absolutely fantastic and great examples to learn from. I am looking forward to being an important part of someone else' Less Listings & Sales For Sale For Rent Sold Active Listings (8) PROPERTY ADDRESS BED / BATH PRICE 6020 Verona Dr, Decatur, IL 62521 6020 Verona Dr Decatur, IL 62521 2 Bed, 1 Bath $89,000 309 S Madison St, Cerro Gordo, IL 61818 309 S Madison St Cerro Gordo, IL 61818 4 Bed, 1.1 Bath $109,900 215 N Jefferson, Cerro Gordo, IL 61818 215 N Jefferson Cerro Gordo, IL 61818 3 Bed, 2 Bath $109,900 201 W Plains Dr, Oreana, IL 62554 201 W Plains Dr Oreana, IL 62554 3 Bed, 2 Bath $89,900 215 N Country Club Rd, Decatur, IL 62521 215 N Country Club Rd Decatur, IL 62521 3 Bed, 2.1 Bath $145,000 View on a map Past Sales (33 all-time) PROPERTY ADDRESS REPRESENTED SOLD DATE PRICE 220 E Main St, Moweaqua, IL 62550 220 E Main St Moweaqua, IL 62550 Buyer 11/10/2017 $108,140 3643 Meadowview Ct, Decatur, IL 62526 3643 Meadowview Ct Decatur, IL 62526 Buyer 07/02/2018 $160,000 1801 N Stevens Ave, Decatur, IL 62526 1801 N Stevens Ave Decatur, IL 62526 Buyer 07/02/2018 $88,000 1478 W Glenn Dr, Decatur, IL 62526 1478 W Glenn Dr Decatur, IL 62526 Seller 06/18/2018 $136,000 4938 E Hayden Dr, Decatur, IL 62521 4938 E Hayden Dr Decatur, IL 62521 Buyer 06/04/2018 $110,000 Ratings & Reviews Write a review Show: Sort by: Highly likely to recommend 11/14/2017 - twilightmomma25 Bought a Single Family home in 2017 in Moweaqua, IL.
