Real Estate Rookie That Is Looking to Network in Chicago

Member since 2022 · 1 post · 0 votes

Hi all,

I am James. I am condo home owner (my second personal residence purchase) here in Chicago that has been dreaming/obsessing over beginning my journey into full time real estate investment. Any information or advice is always welcome, as I am in a stage of immense learning and growth, and if there are any other Chicago folks present hit me up anytime! I am always interested in meeting/networking.

Thanks,

James

@James Worrall congrats on the two purchases! That's awesome and it sounds like you have already started down the financial freedom path! If you're not already listening to Straight Up Chicago Investor Podcast -- https://www.straightupchicagoi... -- you will love it. It's like BP but it's Chicago specific and they've had some big names from BP on (i.e. David Green, J Scott, Scott Trench).

I would also add that on the SUCI website meetup page (https://www.straightupchicagoi...) there is a condensed list of Chicago specific REI meetups. I'm going to shoot you a connection request now.

Hi @James Worrall Welcome to the community! Glad you're here. I always recommend that anyone getting started attend in person meet ups. It's a great way to become more knowledgeable on your local investors and create your team while you're getting started. BiggerPockets has a section just for this, Under the NETWORK tab- Meet up

https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

Chicago is a wonderful place to invest. There are a lot of neighborhoods throughout the city that offer something for everyone. No matter what your strategy is Chicago offers a lot.
Best of luck to you!
