New Chicago investor looking to network and buy first rental

[Jeff Duke]

Hi guys my name is Jeff and I am from the west suburbs of Chicago Illinois. I am new to real estate investing and have been obsessed with listening to podcasts and reading books about various topics.

I am just starting out and would love to connect and network with other investors, real estate agents and lenders. Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated. I would love to hear how you guys got started and what you are doing now.

My goal is to buy my first single family or duplex this year and keep growing.
