Chicago Investors
Hi,
I am a veteran that just moved back to Chicago.
I was wondering if anyone is in the area that can coach me through investing.
Im looking to seek my teeth into this and be a sponge to your knowledge.
Thanks,
Ray

Welcome to Bigger Pockets, and thank you for your service!
Get out to local REI Clubs. Don't jump at the first exciting concept or person. Rather, visit clubs, talk to actual active investors, and get a feel for what they are doing. Then figure out what style/type of investing you want to do. Then see if you can find a mentor that is an actual investor focusing on what you want to do. Not all forms of investing are the same!
Just be sure to avoid those that are "faking it until they make it".
