I am relatively new to real estate investing and am interested in expanding my network and portfolio.  I have been successful in my full-time positions in the past and now would like to learn about investing in real estate.  I used to design high-rise structures in New York City as a Structural Engineer and currently I work as Sales Engineer in the construction industry.

I have purchased an investment unit in Chicago which I also manage.  I also have purchased my condo which is in Chicago as well.  I also do have my IL real estate license.  I'm looking to start earning supplemental passive income and expand my network.

@Eric Diemar Welcome to BiggerPockets. You definitely found the right place to expand your network. Setup keyword alerts for Chicago and search the forums for "Chicago roll call" to find people in your area.

@Brandon Turner put together a keyword alerts guide here that I think you'll find very helpful.
