Chicago-land Real Estate Organizations

[Mark McQuiston]

Hey everyone - new member from Chicago here!

I'm interested in joining a local REI organization as I believe its the appropriate next step in developing my knowledge. From browsing these forums, in addition to some outside research, I've identified CAREIA, WCRT, and Chicago Creative Investors Associations as some well-established groups. I was hoping to get some insight from anyone who is/has been a member of these organizations. I'd also love to hear about any other groups that you guys might recommend. I know these groups aren't for everyone so negative opinions are welcomed to!

Thanks!
