Aspiring Chicago House Hacker Looking for Meetups
Hi there,
I'm hoping to buy my first house hack in Northwest Chicago in 2024, and am visiting for 2 months (August & September 2023) to learn more about the city, neighborhoods, and people.
For someone who is interested in real estate investing & house hacking, but is a complete beginner, are there any meetups that people recommend I check out while I'm in the city? I'd really love to meet more people who are doing what I'm looking to do too while I'm in the city.

Thanks for sharing! I actually signed up for a few on this list already - I'm an avid listener of the Straight Up Chicago Investor podcast!
