Total newbie here!

[Brett Russell Coleman]

Hi all,

I’m an academic and a total newbie to real estate investing. I'm looking to learn, make connections and figure out the best approach to get started. I’m currently soaking up as much knowledge as I can on BP, saving money, and planning to buy my first house hack in 2024. I’m in Chicago and would love to connect with others in the area (and elsewhere) as I figure out my path! If anyone has tips about house hacking, getting started with little money, or getting started in investing in general it would be much appreciated!
