Real Estate Investment Consulting

We have been investing in real estate for over a decade, and we are excited to share our expertise as a service to those who are interested in being investors.

We show people exactly how. Our unique multi-dimensional approach virtually eliminates all the risk and allows you to PROFITABLY invest in real estate, GUARANTEED!

Here are the singular roles most of our competitors take on in real estate investment transactions:

Gurus – These people primarily sell their knowledge about real estate. They tell you “how to” invest for a fee, they provide some references and then leave the rest to individuals to execute on their own. However our research shows that while this approach can be effective for some, it leaves much of the guess work to novices at investing. This often results in poor execution of the techniques taught, and sometimes the result is flat-out FAILURE! A new investor who does not have a guide through ALL aspects of the real estate transaction, usually does not understand the interrelations of all the related aspects. Thus a poor investment decision will be made and time and money will be lost.
Realtors – These people are salespersons who represent both buyers and sellers of property. Once people are trained to invest in real estate, they are usually instructed to find realtors who will help them locate potential investments. Unfortunately most realty companies do not focus on helping their clients to locate profitable investments. Rather, their main aim is to sell real estate and make commissions. This lack of commitment to an investor is a waste of time and precious resources, and a cause of poor investment choices. On the other hand, realtors do a greater service when they help their clients to carefully discern what they are buying or selling. Again, there can be fatal consequences for one who enters into a real estate transaction without understanding the interrelations between ALL of its aspects.
Contractors – These are people who make minor and major physical construction improvements to properties. In many cases, after properties are purchased, the need arises for physical upgrades and improvements of various sorts. Typically, investors are recommended to general contractors or handymen to make the improvements. Unfortunately, many contractors, only concentrating on the agreed upon improvements, have limited or no knowledge of real estate investing. This is a crucial issue because a contractor can feed upon an unsuspecting investor’s emotions to get new business. He may try to do unnecessary work to increase his own profits, but as a result, the improvements he makes may ultimately lose money for the investor.

In contrast to the single minded approaches that are typical of our competitors, KCI provides you with investment consultations that are comprehensive, thus cost and time effective. Having analyzed the typical approach for the last 15 years, we have devised systems that eliminate 100% of your risk so you can make wise, profitable and satisfying real estate investment choices.

Traditionally, real estate transactions are handled by different companies, each of which operates out of a myopic view of the transaction. However customers deserve more holistic approaches. Rather than just selling knowledge (gurus), making commissions (realty companies) or getting new business (contractors), investors are best served if transactions help them to avoid spending hundreds or perhaps thousands of unnecessary dollars and making a poor investment decision.

At KCI, we help investors to enter into transactions from a multi-dimensional perspective. Ours is the only company in the Chicago area that teaches you how to invest, finds the property for you and also makes the necessary physical improvements to the property in a seamless, convenient process. And we do it all under one roof. Literally!

Our experience has proven that many poor investments occur because of breakdowns in one the three areas. Therefore, our philosophy is to serve our customers with the ultimate fairness and efficiency. We first assess the investment objectives of the client. Then, we proceed to devise a comprehensive investment strategy, bringing to bear our vast knowledge of the three major areas of the real estate transaction and how they interrelate. Through the whole process, we always cater to the needs and desires of the client so they will end up making sound, profitable and gratifying financial decisions.

Here’s how we do what we say

Owner’s Unique Expertise. KCI’s founder and owner, Eric Fullilove, has 15 years of successful real estate investing experience. In that time, he has bought and sold properties valuing in excess of $14 million dollars. Trained as an electrical engineer, he brings a distinctively ordered approach to real estate investing. Because of his keen mastery of the intricately linked facets of real estate investing, he created specialized companies that facilitate harmonious and profitable transactions. Thus, our clients enjoy maximum benefits from their investments.
Multi-Dimensional Approach. Unlike most competitors who concentrate on only a single facet of the real estate transaction, the KCI System balances the knowledge, realty, and construction aspects. We teach our clients how to invest all the while our complementary realty and construction companies help to execute the process. This arrangement allows each of the critical areas to communicate with the other, virtually eliminating risks usually associated with real estate investments. This gives our clients true peace of mind.
State-of-the Art Office. KCI is 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 and handymen operate from their homes or through other fly-by-night arrangements. However, because we strive to be present and available to our customers, our offices, beautifully remodeled by KCI, are conveniently located in the community. This is our way of showing integrity and commitment to our clients.
Our Guarantee. KCI clients feel secure because of the following guarantee: If you allow us to teach you how to invest, let our realty company find a profitable investment for you, and if necessary let our construction company make improvements to your property, and if you don’t get pre-determined measurable results in 120 Days or less, we will work with you until you do! Period!

*(This obviously assumes that market conditions allow for the timely location of a suitable property)

It is through these efforts to thoroughly educate via hands-on training and delivering extra value that distinguishes KCI from other real estate companies. More importantly our multi-dimensional approach to real estate really sets us apart from the competition. Access to the founder of the company also accelerates the process of improving your chances of success in your real estate investment endeavors and allows us to stand behind our guarantee.

How the KCI Companies ease your fears of investing . . .

We understand your fears of investing in real estate considering: foreclosures, fraud, tenant management, repairs, maintenance, vacancies, lack of time, etc. We started our companies specifically because of these fears. Experience has taught us that if investments are properly organized through our time-tested system, customers will significantly lower their risk and fear and increase their profits and satisfaction. Now you can capitalize on the safest and profitable KCI consultation process and investment system.

Ways you can withstand the volatile stock market . . .

KCI Companies help customers to build diverse portfolios that can withstand any market. If you are investing in the stock market, which would include 401K’s, mutual funds, bonds, etc, historically your returns would average 10-15% over a twenty to thirty year period. If you really think about it, you are investing in a company or multiple companies that you have absolutely no control over. In today’s volatile market, if you are 60 years old or older and have been investing in the market for thirty years and now want to retire and cash out your money, you may be in deep trouble! You may be apt to either taking a significant loss or just hoping for a break-even point sometime in the distant future.

How real estate investments benefit you. . .

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, 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 typically gives you only 10 – 15% over a thirty year period, however, historically; real estate gives you 150% over a thirty year period. Imagine multiplying the 150% by multiple properties. You can position yourself to fund your retirement or your children’s education. You can also generate residual income or take out lump sums of cash. Investing in real estate is clearly the biggest profit making no-brainer in the world!
