Out of State Investing in Greater Chicago Area

[Christian Bateman]

Hey all,

I'm looking at a few properties to invest in in the Greater Chicago area. I live in Washington state. I'm just starting out, and I don't have a lot of cash on hand, but probably enough for some auction homes in this area. What are some first steps to begin investing out-of-state, and more particularly, in this part of the US. I have no relations in the area and would be interested in partnering with someone with boots on the ground.

Am I just being naive in thinking I can do this? Or is this a viable way to begin buy and hold properties? What do you think? What do you recommend?

Welcome Christian, 

You should contact @Account Closed. They have investor meetups every Saturday in Chicago.

Lots of good information and an opportunity to get to know the lay of the land and meet fellow investors. 

It is definitely doable if you give yourself a chance.
