My Story
My name is Frank LaMark and I founded Lamco Investments in 2018 with a vision. A vision to creatively acquire properties big and small while revitalizing neighborhoods and communities! Unmatched passion and drive I fix and flipped my first property at age 19 while still living with my parents in Itasca, Illinois. At age 20 I jumped into the auto industry and sold cars for Torco Chrysler Plymouth and then Packey Webb Ford In Wheaton/Glen Ellyn Illinois. This industry is aggressive and taught me sound fundamentals in sales, sales management and financing. Consistently achieving top sales position month after month. Fast forward 10 years, the auto industry took a down turn after 9-11 so I decided to take my sales and marketing skills I learned for a decade and I started a kitchen cabinet design showroom selling cabinetry and countertops. This new venture snowballed into manufacturing, importation and the creation of my own line of RTA – ready to assemble kitchen cabinetry. Selling in showrooms all over the country as well as online via e-commerce direct to consumer and top retailers. At the time the internet was new and some would call me a disruptor and others would call me a visionary for selling cabinetry online.
Flash forward to 2018 I founded Lamco Investments, LLC. I switched my focus from cabinetry to real estate full time. Acquiring properties direct to seller using old fashion roll up your sleeves hard work.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lamco Investments, LLC several times over the past five years. Frank and his team were always professional and easy to communicate with. They are prompt and knowledgeable and have a wide array of knowledge and they work to the mutual benefit of all of the parties involved.
Marilyn DuranteLamco investment is my go to partner for my MidWest acquisition and investment. Frank professionalism and his calm demeanor in solving problem that happened in our project has certainly eases my anxiety when doing out of state project. Wouldn't be able to go through it without his partnership and looking forward to many more projects that we can take down in the near future.
