Anti Landlord laws are why the Illinois Rental Property Owners Association exists. The problem our state association and local chapters face is diminishing enrollment. Everything is somewhat free on the internet. Paying $200 annually to a local member association that pays the state association to fight bad laws is now too expensive. 

Don't get me wrong, Bigger Pockets and YouTube have their place, but a local association has in person meetings, Face to Face networking, Cash Flow game nights, hands on training, local vendor discounts and so much more. Plus, they help in the cause to fight anti landlord legislation. Plus a local association is more involved with local laws and legislation

In Southern Illinois join Illinois REIA, In Chicago look for the Chicago Creative Investors Association. Springfield Area Landlords Association or go to www.IRPOA.org and click on the member Association tab to find a group near year and join the fight against Anti Landlord Legislation.

In politics if you are not at the table, you will be on the menu.
