Chicago and surrounding area real estate
Hello my name is Ian. I'm looking to get into real estate. My plan is to buy a multifamily and rent it out for some passive income. I would love any suggestions and or resources. I've been reading a lot of book and articles if anyone has any suggestions. If anyone has been successful buying rental property in Chicago I'd love to pick your brain.
Thank you in advance.

@Ian Rowland
Your plan is so doable! I started house-hacking three years ago and currently have 2 properties and look for my 3rd now!
Keep reading, listening to podcast, and networking is key! Network with others, attend different events. I have met so many people that have provided me invaluable information.
@John Warren also has helped me, as well!
