Aspiring Realtor/Investor in Chicago

My name's Sebastian. I live in Chicago. At the moment, I just started the first half of the courses for the real estate exam in Illinois. My mother was a realtor in Florida before the crash and I helped her often, so I liked the work... still do. She doesn't know about Chicago real estate as it's completely different so I'd like to have someone (some people?) to go to when I have a question for the exam or just a general RE question that I come across on the daily here in IL. Eventually my goal is to use the profession as a way to gain some capital for 1. My dream art business (I'm an artist as well) and 2. Investing in passive income properties to feed my passions (even buying properties in places I like to visit often). Hopefully I've found the right spot for this and more! Hope to hear from someone soon and THANKS!
