[Bob S.]

looking to partner with a mentor who can help us start our journey in chicagoland. looking to start likely with turnkey rentals - SFH or MF. want to know how to finance and how to find "good deals" on properties outside of redfin/zillow/the obvious candidates.

i'm a tech specialist with over 20 years in the field of database administration. i could help with infrastructure, websites, etc... in return for your help with initial and possibly ongoing mentorship/partnership with getting started!

thanks! please let me know if this is in the wrong forum :(

@Bob S. Hey Bob, if you're looking for local meetups and interested in getting started, the Straight Up Chicago Investor podcast is a great place to start and is home to a lot of the types of people it sounds like you might be looking for: https://www.straightupchicagoinvestor.com/

They also have a list of meetups on that site: https://www.straightupchicagoinvestor.com/chicago-real-estate-investor-meetups 

Not sure which suburb you live in, but there are some good options for meetups in the Naperville/Aurora area and a little further in in the Berwyn area with my guy @John Warren and the WSBOA. 

If you have any questions, feel free to DM me!
