Chicagoland area newbie & looking to network

Hi everyone.  Just discovered BP and looking to connect with like-minded people looking into RE Investing.  I feel like paying $1,600 for a 1 bd in Evanston might be a bit too much for me and would rather learn to house-hack, flip, and other wealth-building strategies.  The lease renews in June and thanks to BP I've made the decision not to renew but to downsize temporarily and focus on my goal to house-hack.  For now, I've been listening to Podcasts and preparing myself for my first purchase.  Most importantly I'd like to connect and learn from other people, attend webinars, and build some momentum.  Thanks, everyone and see you in the forum.

-Alex
