Back to BP 4 years and 5 properties later

[Grady Schmidt]

Hey Everyone,

I originally used Bigger Pockets about 4 years ago when I was looking for my first property, but haven't been active since. In that time, I've scaled up to 5 properties including a house hack, 3 small multifamily LTRs, and now working on launching my first STR with a partner. I live in Chicago but invest in Indiana.

I want to get more active here again because although I have learned a lot of valuable (and expensive) lessons, I know I have a long way to go. I'd love to connect with investors of any experience level, my areas of focus are small multifamily, deal analysis, and financial planning.

Thanks all,

Grady

Hi Grady! Sounds like we are in the same boat here. I haven't been very active on BP lately, have around the same number of properties, and focus on the same types of projects. Crazy! Yet, I'm sure there are many of us. Feel free to reach out to me anytime.

@Toni Husbands If you need help finding the meetup groups, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I can help you find them and help you find other networking mechanisms specific to the Chicagoland area. @Aaron Zimmerman would be even more helpful than me. He's much better about networking than I'll probably ever be haha...
