Mitir Patel/Rentals

Apartments for rent.

Open units in the 30 Chicago buildings that Brown Bear Co looks after, from Lincoln Square to Bridgeport. Email or text me about any of them and I’ll send the rent, the details and a time to see it.

6 open as of November 7. Every building and unit is on bbearco.com.

Need it for a few nights instead?

Furnished short stays in Chicago and southwest Michigan are booked through Awayo, the hosting company I co-own. Own a place you’d rather run as an Airbnb? List it with Awayo.

I’m a principal of Brown Bear Co, which manages these buildings, and I have an ownership interest in some of them. Equal Housing Opportunity: we don’t discriminate on any basis protected by federal, Illinois, Cook County or Chicago law.

Own a building like this one?

Send the address and the rent roll and you get a written opinion of value — real underwriting, not a rule of thumb. Buying instead? Tell me the criteria and I’ll watch the market for it.
