Hi Daniel,

Welcome to the BP community! :) 

I listen and sometimes replay episodes because of the detailed amount of information provided in just one hour of listening. You may want to network and attend meetups in your area if you are considering investing in the future. Real estate investing is people-oriented so always great to build those relationships!

Where in the suburbs are you looking to invest? 

@Ian Rowland 

I invest near midway airport. I’m looking for my next property in close proximity to the area. Huge shift in rentals in the area. 

Hi @Scott Harper, Great to hear that you've started on your real estate journey! I am an investor on the south-side of Chicago. I've seen great returns, and currently looking for my third property. Southwest/western suburbs are great for rentals.

Welcome to the community, @Francheska K.! 

Congratulations on starting your journey in real estate. The opportunities in real estate are abundant in Chicago. I have 2 rentals on the south-side of Chicago and now looking for my third. 

Which neighborhoods are you looking at? 

@Ian Rowland Your plan is so doable! I started house-hacking three years ago and currently have 2 properties and look for my 3rd now! Keep reading, listening to podcast, and networking is key! Network with others, attend different events. I have met so many people that have provided me invaluable information. @John Warren also has helped me, as well!

Agree with Jonathan. I am in the same exact boat! I am working full-time and just passed my test a couple of weeks ago. I would recommend doing your research prior to passing the exam to find a sponsoring broker. I was able to find mine before passing my test, that way, once you pass, you can start practicing right away. Most find a sponsoring broker AFTER they pass their test and it can take a few weeks to research and interview. I got that done before so I can start right away. Hope that helps!

Ah, gotcha!

Thank you, John! This is very helpful. I would like to contest my property taxes for a condo. It sits next to another one of my condos in a different block that has lower property taxes. Any recommendations for contesting? Thanks! 

Great question, I’m looking for condo rentals in Oak Lawn. It’s a growing city! Which type of property are you looking to purchase?

super helpful, thank you!
