@Alec DeAngelo the best list for Chicago networking groups is on the Straight Up Chicago Investor's podcast website. I would also listen to the podcast since you can learn a lot about what is happening here locally in Chicago. 

Chicago Real Estate Investor Meetups (straightupchicagoinvestor.com)

There are many, many great meetups here in Chicago. I run a meetup in Berwyn that is joining with the Neighborhood Building Owner's Alliance (NBOA). There are several really good ones on the western side and northwestern side of the city as well. 

 Thanks John! I will look into this, I appreciate the help.

Hello Everyone! I am located in the western suburbs of Chicago, and am looking for a REI meetup group in person preferably in the suburbs, but am open to all suggestions across the Chicagoland area. Thank you for your help in advance!

Thank you to all for chiming in here. It is so great to read all of your feedback and advice as it is much appreciated!

All the information you need to get started is available for free on BiggerPockets forums. You could probably read a few books, watch some podcasts, and spend a couple weeks reading/interacting on the forums and gain more knowledge than what they'll share for $10,000.

Thanks Nathan! I figured as much, just seems like there is a lot of information to digest out there, but probably not worth the heavy upfront payment of $10k with nothing being guaranteed. I appreciate your input.

Hello Everyone,

My wife and I have been wanting to purchase STR for years, but are now ready to finally start purchasing properties in 2023. The biggest issue is that I need help purchasing my first deal from start to finish to make sure I am finding the best deal possible.

I found a real estate investment group through Instagram that allows 1 on 1 calls, group calls, and a facebook forum. The only problem is that this program is $10k which seems pretty steep, however, would it be less expensive than paying to learn from my own mistakes?

If anyone has any experience with buying into mentorship programs such like this, or if you think there is plenty of information out there to go out and do it myself, please let me know your thoughts as I would appreciate your input!
