5 Years Lurking, Finally Posting — Excited to Connect!

[Micah White]

Hey BP fam 👋

After five years of lurking, learning, and loving this platform from the sidelines, I figured it was finally time to post and introduce myself. I’m Micah — a real estate investor, coach, and proud Chicagoan.

I started my investment journey back in 2024, and since then, I’ve:

• - Built a 7-unit rental portfolio in Chicago (Logan Square & North Lawndale)

• - Founded the Brick by Brick Blueprint, where I coach first-time investors through buying their first rental

• - Helped close over $175M in institutional real estate deals through my work in acquisitions at a real estate private equity firm

These days, I spend most of my time helping new investors build confidence, analyze deals, and get to the closing table — especially folks in their 20s and 30s who are juggling full-time jobs and trying to break into the game the right way.

If you’re a beginner feeling stuck, I’ve been there. Happy to answer questions or share resources (I even put together a free checklist for folks who want a step-by-step path from “I want to invest” to “I just closed”).

Looking forward to learning, sharing, and helping however I can.

Let’s build something great — brick by brick.
