Berwyn is one of the most compelling fix-and-flip markets in the Chicago metro. Located just 10 miles west of the Loop along the Eisenhower Expressway, it offers investors close-in access to city amenities with significantly lower acquisition costs than many inner-ring neighborhoods. The housing stock — primarily classic brick bungalows, two-flats, and Tudors built between the 1920s and 1950s — is aging but structurally sound, making it ideal for value-add rehab strategies.

Types of Deals We Fund in Berwyn

Private Lending Group has funded a wide variety of deals in Berwyn, including single-family rehabs targeting the $280,000–$360,000 ARV range, two-flat acquisition and gut-renovation projects aimed at the rental market, and cash-out refinances for investors pulling equity to fund their next acquisition. The area’s brick bungalow inventory consistently attracts first-time buyers and young families, creating strong exit demand for finished product. Investors who pick up distressed properties in the $160,000–$200,000 range and execute solid cosmetic and mechanical upgrades are seeing solid returns on resale.

What Borrowers Say

“After being rejected by two traditional lenders, I found Private Lending Group through a referral. Dan had me approved within 24 hours and we closed in under two weeks on a brick bungalow on Oak Park Avenue. The rehab went smoothly and we sold for $47,000 above what we paid plus renovation costs. I already have my next Berwyn deal lined up and PLG is my first call.” — Marcus T., Real Estate Investor, Berwyn IL
