Diane - Congrats on the 8 unit.  That is great!! Ironically, I closed on an 8 unit today :)  We should meet up while you are down.  Are you interviewing Professional Leasing Services (309-691-0900)?  If not, you should give them a call as an option too.  We have a lot of great managers in the area.

Diane - All of those areas are great!!  If you can find a good deal that cash flows you will be very pleased.  I am not sure what kind of information you are looking for.  We could jump on a call sometime and talk if that would help.  Thank you!!

We are just working to get a deal under contract that we are selling.  We called around to all of the local agents and offered them 2.5% if they could connect us with a buyer.  So we were doing more work than just listing it, but the agents we okay with what we offered.  Then we ended up finding a buyer on our own...no fees :)

We are two weeks away from our next Meetup in Peoria, IL.  If you haven’t RSVP’d yet, please do so that we can have enough food for everyone!!

Where in Illinois do you own properties?

I would take a look at Peoria Heights.  That would be a fun place to do a live in fix and flip.

Hi Lisa.  I look forward to meeting you at one.  I think the thing people enjoyed the most was networking with other investors and hearing what they were doing.  I spent some time talking about how to push through "stinking thinking" to get started or to push yourself to the next level of growth.  Mike then spoke about leverage.  How to leverage programs like Say Rhino, partnerships, property managers, banks, and private money.  

Welcome to the second Midwest Real Estate Investor Meetup in Peoria. For those of you returning, we're so glad you enjoyed the first meetup and we look forward to seeing you again.

For those of you that are new around here... Mike Gudat and Brad Stegall of Acceleration Ventures welcome you! We both started investing in our early 20's by house hacking duplexes. Mike has been involved with the acquisition or sale of over 978 units. He recently sold a 162-unit complex earlier this year that was a part of a syndication he put together. Brad and Mike are currently business partners on two multifamily projects in Peoria. Outside of their partnership, Brad also owns 49 units in the Peoria area.

The guest speaker for the April Meetup will be the Airbnb Whisperer, Tia Bailey. She is a young entrepreneur who started out as a nobody and busted her butt to be one of the top leaders in the industry. She started her short-term rental business at age 26 (while working and going to college, taking 20+ credits per quarter). She’s not only (self-proclaimed) made every mistake under the sun, but it led her to unprecedented success. During 2020, she quintupled her business (yep, even during COVID) and went from a broke college kid to a serial entrepreneur, running and owning (or part owner in) over 6 different companies…across the nation. You can learn more about her at www.tiabailey.com.

We will still allow plenty of time for networking at the beginning and the end of the meetup. Remember our mission: We want to help investors get started. We want to help connect people to find deals. We want to teach people about creative financing. We want to help everyone win big with real estate investing. We will plan to meet on the second Tuesday of every month.

Lunch will be served during the meeting and you will pay Warehouse on State directly. Warehouse on State requires people to wear masks while not eating at the event.
