Hey Bigger Pockets Family, I am eager to announce that I have successfully passed the Illinois Real Estate Broker's exam, and I am now eligible to apply for an Illinois' Broker's license. If you know of any brokerages in the Champaign-Urbana area that are hiring, I am looking to make new connections and begin networking with other local agents!

 Hey Jonathan, sorry for such a late response! I am actually finishing up my live instruction portion of my course and plan to test in 2-3 weeks. Thanks anyway though! I plan to relocate to Chicago as it is a MUCH bigger market than Champaign! 

 Thank you for the tips Jake! I appreciate and will keep those points in mind. Have a great day! 

Hi BP family,

I am currently studying for the Illinois’ broker exam. I have completed the course book and successfully passed each exam. I have done some overall review but there is just SO MUCH information.

Are there any suggested tips or recommendations for compartmentalizing the information to better retain everything?

I begin my 15-hour live instruction portion on June 7th and I feel so unprepared!

@Linda S. No worries. I had to ask. 

Hi @Linda S.! Do you know of any local REI groups in the Midwest Illinois area? Particularly the Champaign County market?

@Danielle Jackson what are some of your recommended reads for newbies to real estate investing?

@John Mendez how did you design your vivid vision? I watched an interview last night with the author of Vivid Vision (https://youtu.be/iTxQQg7c-GY). It sounds like you have to get really detailed down to the micro level.

@Jon Kelly thank you for this “next step” checklist!

Hey John, thanks for the words! You read my mind as I am looking for more information on how to develop your Crystal Clear Criteria. I watched a webinar last night by Brandon Turner. He mentioned that’s one of the most important and crucial first steps!
