New member starting out in Chicago

[JJ Bliss]

I have been slowly emerging myself into investment real estate over the last 3 years but I want to make a bigger commitment and transition to a full time career. I am looking to network in Chicago and does anyone have recommendations of groups/meetings/etc? I really appreciate any help!

Hi JJ Bliss . I'm a board member of the Chicago Area Real Estate Investors Association. We are a Not For Profit Organization and specifically help educate local investors and offer networking events. We don't do the whole "let me tell you how successful I am and if you spend $10k you can do it too." We currently meet in Glendale Heights and are working on a contract with a venue in Oak Brook right now (a lot closer for you) but nothing set in stone yet. Check us out sometime, if you have questions about our organization just shoot me a message. For general info see: www.careia.org and www.meetup.com/CAREIA
