Welcome to the BiggerPockets community! No matter where you stand in your real estate investing journey, BiggerPockets is the ultimate resource for all of your investing needs. I’d suggest starting out by networking with as many other investors as possible and be an active participant in the forums.

If you haven’t already subscribed to the BiggerPockets podcasts, do that ASAP. Look for meet ups in your area (virtual), attend free webinars, start reading as much as possible on any and all topics related to investing and real estate. Use the forums to help you search for the answers to all of your questions. If you can’t find your answers, then create your own post!

Feel free to DM me with any questions.

Good luck and get educated!

Welcome to the community! 

New builds are definitely intriguing in terms of saving on CapEx. One thing to be aware of is in those communities your going to be dealing with HOAs. With HOAs comes fee and typically strict rules in regards to renting. It's definitely still an option and can work out if you do your research!

@Andy Roman

Congrats on the new deal! I'd recommend everything mentioned above! I'm a big fan of RentRedi, they do a great job and my tenants have loved the ease of rent payments. I'd also recommend scheduling any rehab work now so that you are not waiting months for contractors to get to work!

@Eric Whiteman

Welcome to the forums! 

I try to keep up with my local realtor associations (Boulder Association of Realtors and Denver Metro Association of Realtors). They send out monthly market updates and also upcoming training/education opportunities.

@Anastasios Sakellariou

Welcome to the forums! I'd absolutely recommend looking into house hacking in your area.

@Leah Hall

You should check out Meetup.com in your area. It looks like there are a few investor groups that might be somewhere close to you. 

@Natanya Vidales

Welcome to the community! 

I'm not in your area but I'm always open to discuss house hacking and answer any questions that you have a long the way!

@Wesley Thompson

Welcome to the community! 

I love the strategy you've come up with! I hope you're able to make something come out of it. 

I'm always looking to connect with other investors. Reach out if there's anything I can do to help out. 

@Nicholas Hariprasad

Welcome to the community and nice work taking the step to get started! Have you connected with any agents in your area that are familiar with investing? I'd recommend using the networking tools here on BP to find agents in your area that have the experience you are looking to build. 

@Lisett Tito

Welcome to the community! I spent a handful of years teaching Special Education in Portland Oregon, so I have a deep respect for your service. Take advantage of the resources here on BP. Use the network tool up top here and start connecting with local agents in Chicago. Most agents here will be able to connect you with other professionals in your area. 

I'm always looking to connect. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
