Looking to Network with Investors in the Chicagoland area!

[Jalen Chanthaboury]

Hey Bigger Pockets community,

I am new to this platform. I’m 19 years old, from the suburbs of Illinois and I am looking to network with as many real estate investors as possible. I aspire to complete my first fix&flip deal and to invest in Airbnb/rental properties. I just got myself into the game roughly 4 months ago, learning everyday and still hungry to learn more... I want to gain financial freedom in real estate. Looking to network with anyone in the Chicagoland area that shares the same passion!

Hey @Jalen ! Welcome to the real estate community. I’m right next door with a few properties around. Congrats on having a plan.

I’m certainly willing to share whatever knowledge and connections I have in the area. What is your next step? Funding, targeting a property acquisition strategy or putting a team together?
