Hello Everyone, I'm a new member to the Bigger Pockets family.  I'm located in Chicago, IL and interested in Real Estate investing.  I own a 6 unit Multi-family property and I'm interested in expanding my business.  I am hoping to learn as much as I can and connect with other investors in the area and online.  Happy to be here.

Welcome to BiggerPockets @Stephanie James!

Great to have you here in BP community! This is the right way/approach learning your REI!

Yes, learn as much as you can here! Keep on with your Real Estate education by browsing, reading, listening, building your network and completing your BP profile too (which is a priority while you are here). Connect with other members too esp in your target area, Chicago IL to learn from their success stories and experiences and possible partnership. I am sharing with you some of my initial recommendations:

   1. Subscribe to the BiggerPockets Money and Rookie Podcasts

    2. Attend the FREE WEBINARS

   3. Attend a Meetup in Your Area

   4. Purchase the Beginner Books at store: How to Invest in Real Estate, Set for Life, The House Hacking Strategy

    5. Peruse the forums! Ask questions! Answer Questions!

Good luck in your RE investing! Keep safe/healthy, and see you around the site!

Best regards,
