Newbie Chicago Wholesaler

[Jacob Lyons]

Hello everyone! 

My name is Jacob Lyons and I am looking to get into wholesaling in the Chicagoland area. From what I understand, wholesaling can be met with a healthy dose of skepticism. Please know, however, that I am doing all I can to do it the right way. I’m currently working on my brokers license to ensure each deal has accurate and truthful comps. In the meantime, I want to connect with as many people doing business in the Chicago area as possible. Contractors (I want my properties to come with bids!), marketers, lenders, investors, attorneys, other wholesalers/realtors, etc.

I want everyone I work with to be more successful for having done so.

Also, where does everyone hang out?! Groups? Networking events? Meetups?

Any general advice?

Thanks!
