I am starting to dig deep into the financials.

I like to join Rooted meetup once a month. finding a mentor is more difficult there are different online groups that I could recommend you if you are willing to put the time and money on them 

If someone is from the Chicago area and has roots, it often times makes sense to buy a good building in an area you like versus renting. 

So who has the deep pockets and wants to keep their license? 

Refinished floors, new refrigerator, deep clean.What was the outcome?

With your tech background, you’ll excel at systems, and with Michigan roots, you can learn the local market while also staying open to out-of-state if the numbers make sense.

Drive by your shop on Brookpark all the time.

You'll be better off when you make offers, and get knee deep in a remodel. 

I can share insights and deep dive into each market for you. 

I’ll definitely be doing my own deep dive, but figured I’d start a conversation here in case anyone has valuable on-the-ground experience that I won’t find in the data.Thanks in advance!
