Alec DeAngelo
Posted Dec 21 2022, 09:13

Hello Everyone! I am located in the western suburbs of Chicago, and am looking for a REI meetup group in person preferably in the suburbs, but am open to all suggestions across the Chicagoland area. Thank you for your help in advance!

@Alec DeAngelo use the network tab and input Chicago. If none of those meet your expectation then go to meetup.com, input real estate, zip and miles willing to travel.

@Alec DeAngelo the best list for Chicago networking groups is on the Straight Up Chicago Investor's podcast website. I would also listen to the podcast since you can learn a lot about what is happening here locally in Chicago. 

Chicago Real Estate Investor Meetups (straightupchicagoinvestor.com)

There are many, many great meetups here in Chicago. I run a meetup in Berwyn that is joining with the Neighborhood Building Owner's Alliance (NBOA). There are several really good ones on the western side and northwestern side of the city as well.
