how to build momentum in Chicago

[Eric Palomino]

Hello,

My husband and I have been trying to figure out the Realestate industry. We both have/had full time jobs ( I Recently resigned to take be a full time mom and to build our Realestate adventure). We actively listen to BP podcasts and we are avid readers to helping our business scale. We cannot back track, but over the course of 9 years, we are learning from our mistakes and educating ourselves to gain the momentum. We currently have 7 units ( 1- 3 flat and 2- 2 flats). Out of the three buildings, one building is in the suburb of Chicago and the other 2 building are in Chicago. I am not sure if we are just not finding the right deals in Chicago/Chicagoland area or we are missing a solid piece knowledge to help us gain momentum. Our goal is 6-8 units for 2019. We are comfortable with out of state investing ( i.e. Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa), but it just seems like we are missing a piece of the puzzle. 

What type of strategies are BP members using to help you gain momentum?
