REIA in Central IL?

[Thom Sieloff]

Greetings my fellow investors. I am rather new to the real estate investor career and am looking forward to getting my first property under contract. I am running into some difficulties finding people to work with here in the Peoria & Bloomington/Normal IL areas. If there is an REIA here, I have had no luck finding any information on it. I have been able to locate the REIA in Chicago, but nothing downstate. Any help would be useful. Anyone from either of these cities or surrounding areas... I would really like to meet up with you. Thanks.

Thom Sieloff have you tried looking up in meetup.com or calling signs you might see about we buy real estate?

[Thom Sieloff]

Hi Carolina E. I have not tried meetup.com. Thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate that! As far as bandit signs go, I have seen only one, which is pretty old and the number is always busy. There is a city ordinance against bandit signs on poles in the area and are very few and far between. Fortunately, my wife knows a couple of landlords in the area, so we are starting with them, and one couple even offered to take me under their wing. Forever grateful for that. Just eager to meet more people.
