Hello! I'm a newcomer REI in Chicago

[Lewis Yuan]

Hi BiggerPockets Forum,

My name is Lewis and I'm brand new to the real estate investing game. I currently live in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, IL. I'm originally from New Jersey (specifically South Jersey, even more specifically off Exit 2 on the NJ Turnpike, for all my fellow Jersey people out there), and went to college in Cleveland. After that, came out to Chicago for medical school but then decided it wasn't for me, so I left and never looked back! Now I'm a business operations engineer for a local pharmaceutical and chemicals company. 

If someone could direct me to the local Chicago forums here on BiggerPockets, or help me find a local meetup in Chicago, I would appreciate it!

Cheers,

Lewis
