Hi everyone! I'm formally posting now that I've been using the site a while -- I've received some great information -- the podcasts have been an awesome introduction and special thanks to those I've spoken with as a result.

I'm based outside of Chicago, IL (Libertyville), and I currently own two single-family rentals. I've been reading Dave Lindahl and Frank Gallinelli (based on podcast speaker recommendations) -- and I'm hoping to purchase my first multi-family property this year.

Any suggestions on investor groups in metro-Chicago, solid commercial brokers servicing that area, or any other RE investment advice appreciated. Thanks to all of you that contribute your time and expertise to BP, it's appreciated!

Hey Wes, good to have on the forums. There is literally a wealth of information (pun intended).

A couple of good commercial brokers to help you out: AIA, Essex Realty, ACO. All in Chicagoland. They do mainly multi-family. All good guys who do a lot of volume. Just google them and join their email alerts from their websites.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

- Zach
