Psychotherapist to real estate- network

[Lisett Tito]

Hello everyone,

I'm a full time psychotherapist in Chicago and entering the world of real estate. My world at the moment revolves around therapy and mental health, which I love and enjoy. I am however finding it difficult to connect with others in the real estate world. I've joined facebook groups and will be attending an investor meet up this month. Any tips on how to continue to connect with others, CPAs, lenders, lawyers, agents, what to look for and of course staying safe financially?

Appreciate the feedback!

Hi Lisett, 

Welcome to the world of Real Estate. Going to a meet up and talking with anyone more experienced than yourself is a great place to start. 

My advice is always to start walking properties. I personally found an agent in the area I was looking in and told her that I am new and looking to walk properties with the intent to purchase in the next year. Later, on bigger pockets, I met a mentor that helped me through my first steps. 

Feel free to message me if you want my contact as I am happy to give advice and let you pick my brain.

I will be attending Windy City REI and Chicagoland REI this month if you will be there.

Good work and great job in advance on your REI Journey!
