New Investor From Chicago, IL

[Landon Clipp]

Hey folks. Wanted to introduce myself. My name is Landon Clipp and I hail from the city of Chicago. I have been wanting to get into real estate for two years and recently acquired a property downstate. I've been having a ton of fun learning and getting involved with investing and landlording.

Initially my goal was to invest in the city of Chicago but I felt that not only were the startup cost very high, but the heavy regulation felt intimidating to me. So I chose an easier market farther away where houses are cheaper and laws more favorable.

I'm looking to get involved in a Chicago real estate investment group so let me know of good ones in the area. I need to learn more about the market so when the time comes I can invest in my back yard!
