Looking for Realestate Investors in Chicago area

Akeem Hutchinson
  • Chicago, IL
Posted

I am a 22 year old African American college graduate. I am just now starting my journey into the world of Real estate. I am doing as much studying as I can on my own to learn the ways of the business, but am not ashamed to say that I am ignorant at this point in time. This is due to the abundance of information that i am finding without the ability to filter the need to know things about this industry. what I am looking for are experience real estate investors in the Chicago area. I am not looking for your money to invest in properties or even to get paid to work for you. I am just looking for someone that is willing to take the time to mentor me I will work free of charge if need be. I graduated college, Got the job I wanted, and make an OK starting salary with some great benefits. For most people this would be enough to make them happy. Unfortunately, not me I want the auto gain financial independence the ability to provide not just for me and my family but my community as well show other young men that there are more ways to make it in the world. If you can help me. I know I’m asking for a lot but this is not a 1 way streak you will get a motivated and hungry youth willing to work. I can handle anything you throw my way I just need the chance. Thank you!

@Akeem Hutchinson you might want to try attending meetup events and network with investors. At the top is a network tab and then an event section, most are free events for you to attend. Most mentorships are not free as they require a lot of time and effort, so figure out what avenue of REI you are looking to do and go learn from other investors at these events
