New Real Estate Investor in Chicago

Hi BP -  I am based in Chicago and just really getting started in real estate investing.  I have been around real estate for many years but just finally took the leap to purchase our first flip.  I work a W2 job for a large commercial real estate services company and licensed real estate broker and do some residential sales on the side.

The things that I am interested in from BP is similar to what it seems others say as well but going to say nonetheless:

- Network -  looking to connect with GCs and build my book of people to work on our deals

- Financing options - Currently cash financing first flip but looking to understand all options for hard money lending

- Find deals - so competitive in Chicago - so looking to have some good off market deals.  Also very interested in Milwaukee area as well

Look forward to connecting with everyone!  So much content on here and so many amazing stories it is so motivational everyday!
