Newbie in CHicago

Hi guys, newbie from Chicago here. I'm not really a new member, however I have spent most of my time here reading, not posting much. I Live in Lakeview, and would like to purchase a rental property within the next 9 months. I also plan on joining a local real estate investment club.

I'm looking for people who invest in Chicago, and wouldn't mind sharing the areas that they invest in and find their deals in.

Thanks in advance!

Craig, Something better than being a mentor is maybe partnering with someone on a deal. If you meet someone you like and trust (very important), and you yourself have some money you wish to invest I am sure you will be able to find someone who does deals and would be willing to split profits with you depending on your capital contribution. Furthermore, you can go to the site all day every day, call your partner and bug him/her with questions, listen to your new biz partner and find out how they find properties and how they know its a deal, find out who they're banking with, etc.... No need for gurus or mentors!
