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.

Hey glad to see such a positive post on here.
It was refreshing to see something targeted towards younger professionals looking to get into real estate and out of the game.
One of the things I help clients with is protecting their investments with LLCs, with protection from liability on a particular property or protecting the assets from their own liability.
