New Member Looking to Connect and Learn

[Peter Nicieja]

Hello Chicagoland Investors!

My name is Peter and I'm a recent graduate from DePauw University in IN (any alumni here??). Since graduation, I was bitten by the real estate bug and have spend the last several months learning as much as I can about the industry. The majority of my learning has come from BP Podcast and Straight Up Chicago Investors podcast. Now, I'm looking to take my education to the next step by connecting with seasoned real estate professionals in the Chicagoland area. 

My goal for 2021: buy my first property. I'm leaning towards a condo in Chicago. One that I'd live in for a few years before eventually renting out. I've heard mixed opinions about condos in Chicago. What do you guys think?

I'm looking forward to connecting with as many of you as possible!

Hey Peter, I house hacked a condo in Chicago and it went very well for me. Multifamily eventually becomes the play in order to scale but to start, it’s great especially if you want to buy and house hack in some of the more hip areas of Chicago.
