Hi,

I am a management consultant based out of the Chicago looking to begin my real estate investment journey. I have saved up some capital that I would like to deploy over the next couple years in a few properties. BP podcast has been a great place to get my bearings but still very new to this and looking to connect with folks either in a similar place in their REI journey for comeraderie or more seasoned folks willing to part some advice/mentorship in the Midwest in both local and out of state investing. Contacts for good real estate agents, property managers, loan officers, real estate lawyer, real estate tax professional would also be much appreciated. Ideally I would like to partner with someone on my first deal where I can supply the capital and learn how to be an operator in this space through hands on work through the life cycle of the deal. Thanks bp and community in advance for all the value you guys provide.

Katy.
