@Steven Lam Thank you I’m currently looking in the oak lawn IL area but I open to other areas that are on an upswing that I could get in on for a reasonable price

So for my fist move in the REI world I'm looking to purchase a 2bX2b condo in my area and renovate it so it's more modern on the inside then move in myself and rent the other room. I'm still in the research stage of this plan but I feel really good about this route just to lower my living cost that way I have more money to put towards more investments while at the same time building up some equity. Are there any suggestions or point of interest that I should take under consideration before I pull the trigger and move forward?

@Haseeb M. Thank you I feel like I’ll be able to find some of those people at the meetup so I’m definitely looking to take advantage of that!

@Daniella Sanchez Thank you! I’ve just recently got some new books on few different areas in realestate that i feel i would be good at and one of them talked about the podcast i haven’t looked any up yet but that will be my next move. If you have any recommendations please let me know!

@Crystal Smith Thank you I’ve already signed up for a few meet ups and some webinars. I’ve never heard of the game but if it’s an easier way to learn I’m all for it. Giving back is my ultimate goal i wouldn’t try to teach anybody anything I’m not proficient in myself. Thank you for taking the time to share some words of wisdom with me

I can’t wait! Will definitely be in attendance 

@Kyle D Birch Thank you anybody willing to take the time out to teach me I’m more than happy to listen

@Brie Schmidt thank you I didn’t know that there was an event tab there so far all I’ve been doing is watching the free webinars and reading the book I found on here “The Ultimately Beginners Guide” I will see what events are coming up and make my way to them

@Eric Michaels I appreciate the tough words and maybe I did use ignorant in the wrong way I was simply trying to say that I think I know a lot based on the books I have read but at this point in time I don’t know what I don’t know simply because of the large number of ways to make money in this business. I never take anything personal I have tough skin. Still I appreciate you taking the time to comment and let me know what I did wrong. Also thank you graduating college was really important to me

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!
