REI Expo in Chicago: Is anyone from BP going?

[Sandy Uhlmann]

I just signed up for the REI Expo in Chicago July 26-27. This will be my first RE Expo and I'm very excited about it. I was just wondering if anyone else from BP was planning to attend.

I went last Summer but it was very good. There were four different lectures going on at the same time in different rooms. You could pick and choose what topic interested you the most. All of the speakers were excellent and there was a variety of real estate topics discussed. There was very little selling from the podium. All of the speakers were extremely approachable afterwards which I appreciated. Topics ranged from landlording, rehabs/fix and flips, wholesaling, investing in notes, using your IRA to invest in real estate and so much more. It really was a great overview of all aspects of real estate. There was tons of vendors there which was actually a plus. I never knew that there was so many companies willing to lend you money for rehabs or to purchase property ect... There were buying clubs represented as well as insurance companies that cater to landlords or to fix and flippers.

It really was a wealth of information there.  It was also a great way to network and to have a mini mastermind sessions about whatever area of real estate that interests you.  I enjoyed it and learned a lot and even my husband, who has absolutely no interest in real estate at all prior to this event, really enjoyed it.  It is worth checking out.
