Welcome! You've come to the right place.

@Paul Quinn

Welcome! Your passion for real estate investing will take you far!

@Ishmael Adibuah

Welcome! What niche are you interested in the most?

@Genene G.

I'd recommend just connecting with people one on one over coffee. Less intimidating and more intimate. As you gain more knowledge and experience, you'll feel more comfortable at the larger meet ups.

@Nate Anderson

I'm not too far from you in Sycamore. What is it that you're looking for specifically? You can use Zillow, Realtor.com, etc. to get some MLS data.

I'm happy to pull other data if you're not seeing it in those spots.

Welcome! Take advantage of networking with likeminded people at a local real estate meet up. Check out the events tab under "Network" at the top of the page to locate meet ups near you. Great way to meet people and get educated!

@Jonathan Treichler

Right now, your options are seller financing or private money, unless you go the hard money route. Sometimes I use a combination of private money and hard money for a purchase/rehab. Reach out if you if have any questions!

@Anthony Trollope

Welcome! Definitely check out the networking groups. Very valuable!

@Garry Burns

When it comes to property managers, make sure they manage multiple properties (hopefully 100+ units) in the area you're purchasing. Ask them if you can speak with other owners of properties they manage. Those owners will give you the lowdown on the management company.

@Caleb Hur

Welcome! BiggerPockets is a wealth of information. I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am today without the help of the BP community.
