Hey 👋🏽 @Daanish Daudi

Love this! I’m a real estate agent and investor based in Chicago and Northwest Indiana, and I always enjoy connecting with other investor-focused agents across different states. It's so valuable to share insights, strategies, and even potential referrals with others who truly understand the investor mindset. How long have you been in the business? 

Hey @Michele Richard - I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulities getting approved for this property. While I am not a lender, I have worked with individuals that were 1099 contractors that didn't file taxes or could not prove through their taxes / pay stubs that they were making money so they used bank statement loans. They're great, but require a higher down payment, usually 20-25% down and a higher interest rate. I can DM you the lenders that we've used in the past, if that is something you are interested in, but I really do hope you're able to find a way!

Hey Jacky! 👋🏽 That sounds so exciting and I am happy to hear that you took the leap of faith and created your own real estate company. How many deals have you done already and where are you looking to do more of them? 

Hey @Eshe Harvey

I looooove your energy and intentional approach! 🙌 I’m also based in Chicago and can totally relate to building from the ground up with vision as your capital (love that quote, by the way!). Starting with mindset and strategy is everything, and it sounds like you’re already laying a solid foundation.

Wholesaling, house hacking, BRRRR—those are all powerful tools when done with clarity and grit. If you ever want to connect, bounce ideas, or even walk some properties together, I'd be happy to link up. Always down to build with like-minded women who are purpose-driven and serious about long-term growth!

Let’s stay connected and keep pushing. 💪🏽🏡

Hey Mark! 😃

That is amazing to hear - I love the profile photo btw! Where in Chicago did you acquire this deal?

Hey @Nathan Joy 😃

Welcome to BiggerPockets and congrats on stepping into the world of real estate investing!

It’s great that you’re here learning and connecting—being part of a community really makes a difference, especially in the beginning. Since you're in Chicago, I highly recommend checking out some local real estate meetups. There’s a strong investor community here, and these events are a great way to build relationships, learn from others, and stay motivated.

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat more about the local market or investing strategies—happy to help however I can!

Hey @Andrew Sangar 

that's amazing! where in Indiana are you arbitraging the house? and glad you found someone that is willing to work with you, hopefully you can find a great deal that works for you and your partner + cashflow 😃

realtor?: While recent headlines have sparked a lot of confusion, the reality is that in many transactions, sellers are still offering compensation to buyer agents—especially when it helps attract more qualified buyers and get the home sold faster.

Expensive or cheap: a more complicated question that really depends on your feasiblity and long-term goals

location: I say this is important especially if you want to focus on airbnb

Hey @Patrick Charles 👋🏽 

Welcome back and congrats on getting back into real estate!

It’s awesome that you’ve had a variety of experiences across different areas of the business. I can relate—I stepped away from another career path and transitioned into real estate after managing my own properties and realizing how much I enjoyed helping others through the buying/selling process.

It sounds like you’ve got a strong foundation, and now that you’re diving back in, I’d love to hear more about your goals this time around. Are you focusing more on investing, building a portfolio, or growing a client base as an agent?

Looking forward to seeing your journey unfold—cheering you on!
