New to Real Estate Investing
My name is Mi’al, I’m 26 years old and based in the Chicagoland area. I’m brand new to real estate investing and super excited to finally start this journey. Financial freedom and becoming my own boss have always been goals of mine—and a few weeks ago, I made the decision to start working toward those dreams through real estate.
Right now, I’m soaking up as much knowledge as I can and learning something new every day. If you’re an experienced investor or even just a step ahead, I’d love to connect and hear any tips, insights, or strategies you’re willing to share. I truly appreciate any guidance and look forward to learning from this amazing community!

Welcome to the group!
No matter what type of investing you choose to pursue, one of the most important aspects of your research and education is learning how to build a well-rounded tax and asset protection strategy. A carefully crafted tax plan can help you legally minimize your tax burden by optimizing deductions, utilizing tax-advantaged accounts or entities, and structuring your income more efficiently.
Equally important is asset protection. A solid asset protection strategy serves as a financial safeguard, helping to shield your personal wealth from lawsuits, creditor claims, and other potential liabilities that may arise from your investments.
When used together, these strategies not only enhance your financial security but also contribute to long-term peace of mind. They can reduce your legal exposure, strengthen your position in disputes, and create barriers that deter creditors from accessing your assets. Proactively building and maintaining a tax-efficient, liability-conscious plan lays the foundation for lasting growth, resilience, and wealth preservation.
To navigate these areas successfully, I strongly encourage working with experienced professionals, specifically, a tax advisor who understands real estate and an asset protection attorney aligned with your goals and risk profile. Having a knowledgeable team in place early on can prevent costly missteps and give you the clarity and confidence to scale your investments.
Wishing you continued success and smart investing!
