Advice or pointers on how to get a job with a developer

[Josh Kundrat]

Hello,

I have done a few flips, got my real estate license and ventured in to the world of being a landlord, but my ultimate goal would be to work in development, possibly one day doing my own small projects, but I would be really happy just to work for an experienced developer for the foreseeable future. And I was wondering if any of the amazing and super knowable folks on BP had any suggestions on how to go about trying to get a position with a developer around Chicago or North-west Indiana.
