New to BP Pro, Looking to Purchase 1st Property in Summer/Fall 2024

Hi all, 

Just joined the BP community and wanted to introduce myself. I am currently a graduate student in the Chicagoland area and I am aiming to purchase my 1st rental property (ideally a house-hack in a 3+ unit property) this summer / fall (ideally in Chicago or nearby suburbs). I look forward to building relationships with other BP investors!

    @Vijay Radhakrishnan welcome to the forums! You are in the right place to meet a lot of great folks, and we have an amazing community of investors here in Chicago. I would recommend you head to local meetups to get to know folks who are in the specific area of Chicago or the burbs where you want to invest. You can find a great list on the Neighborhood Building Owner's Alliance website here:

     House hacking is a great way to get started! If you need investor-friendly lenders to talk about your financing options, let me know and I'll get you connected.

    Thank you @Paul De Luca and @John Warren for the help! I will look into attending some meetups and will be sure to reach back out once I am closer to pulling the trigger on a property of interest.
