Looking to become a real estate investor

[Cody Tossava]

Hi everyone, my name is Dakota Tossava and I have recently been spending my time reading books on sales/real estate investing.  If anyone would be so kind as to point me to the resources that helped them accelerate their timeline/gain knowledge + increase skills, please do.  Any and all resources would be helpful.   Also, I would love to network and have a bigger circle of like-minded individuals (mentors, potential partners, accountability partners, etc.).  I’m Not looking to get rich quick and I am willing to do the work necessary.  As a lot of great investors say, “to get where you want to go, learn from someone who has already gotten there.”  Thank you all in advance for your responses and help.

Cheers,

Dakota

@Cody Tossava I would look to attend local meetups. That is where I personally have gained the most value in my career. Here is a list. 

Chicago Real Estate Investor Meetups (straightupchicagoinvestor.com)

I also would listen to the straight up Chicago Investors podcast. They have a lot of great content on there, and I am a huge fan. Lastly, I would figure out which niche of real estate you want to be in.
