Hello from Chicago -- Brand New to REI

Gurleen B.
Posted

Very new to the space, currently have 1 rental which used to be a primary residence. I am a bit gunshy about diving into the world of REI but I also feel a spark of passion and excitement inside me.

Want to learn as much as possible and learn from experienced and successful investors who wouldn't mind being a mentor/offer guidance!

@Gurleen B. you are in the right place! Welcome to the forums. You should check out the Straight Up Chicago Investor's podcast if you want to find out more about what is happening in the Windy City.

I also would recommend attending local meetups, and the podcast website has one of the best lists of meetups in Chicago. I host one in the western suburbs in Berwyn if you live nearby, and there are a bunch of great ones in the city.
