I am so excited to be part of this amazing forum! I'm longing to create more business partners and friends! I am fresh to real estate and I am looking forward to networking and building with other Realtors and local Chicago investors/developers.

@Thalia Mena Welcome to BP and welcome to real estate. How are you planning to make some money short and long term? Any idea on focus or possible niche?
A couple of great books for you to read/listen to as you build your network are Sales Ninja by Larry Kendall and 7 Levels of Communication by Michael Maher. Not specific to Chicago but specific to real estate brokers but great books for anyone in sales, which we all are...LOL.
@John Warren & @Tony Angelos You guys better of read these already and if not these are great books to build on the successes you have had already.

@Thalia Mena - Congrats on finding the BP forums and putting yourself out there (a step further than most already!). Countless great people on BP representing Chicago. What area of the city are you in and how can we help?
We are a GC/developer so always love connecting with investor agents.

@Mark Ainley I'm on Millionaire Real Estate Agent from Gary Keller right now, and believe me, I have a long list to get through from all the recommendations on the Straight Up Chicago Investor podcast. I don't think it's been recommended yet, but I have "Never Split the Difference" by Chris Voss pretty high on my list as well.

@Tony Angelos That read is always a nessesity to read but Jay Papasan also has Millionare Real Estate Investor that is a good one. Chris Voss is great listen and if you like him after you read the book he did a podcast on Joe Rogan and Genius Network(Joe Polish) that is fun to listen to.

@Mark Ainley Thanks for the tips. Putting Millionaire Real Estate Investor on my list and I'm going to check out that podcast episode! Joe Rogan always seems to be a great conversationalist from the episodes I've heard.
