Working towards passing my licensing exam next month. Exploring different options as to where I should work as an agent that would both offer me career enjoyment but also allow me to learn more about investment along the way. This is a quick post so ignore my lack of detail. Using this post to more of gather my thoughts.

Option 1: Work for a traditional brokerage, keller, braid, etc. I enjoy residential, but understand I may not come in contact with investors and knowledge.

option 2: work for Networth Realty, learn many aspects of investment, I believe I have the potential to get in with them. Downfalls are that they are a wholesale brokerage and any one familiar with them would know their downfalls

Option 3: Work for an investment brokerage. I know this would be the best path in terms of learning as much about investment as I can, but I feel I fall short considering I don't have much experience, but I have the drive for knowledge and growth. Seeking some like Second City for example.

Hello John, thank you for welcoming me. Funny, I actually connected with Brie somehow, I believe she added me. Didn’t know much about her until I heard her featured on a podcast and recognized her name. I will be looking into attending her meet up :) thank you!

Hi everyone! I am 24 years old and new to investing, but have been watching the Biggerpockets community, actively listening to podcasts, and reading about investing for about 4 years now. I have always had an interest in real estate, but after many lessons (life) in college, I realized that real estate is my passion and I was tired of pursuing things I knew would not make me happy.

 I am a new college graduate from U of I and house hacked 3 out of 5 years in college. Started helping my dad in rehabbing my family house and other small projects since my teens. I also worked as a leasing agent and later a marketing director for a small successful startup. I currently work as an Assistant Property Manager and actively pursuing my RE license, while Ebay flipping on the side. I am working towards leaving property management in January to work in a brokerage as an agent. 

I have a savings plan for buying my first multifamily property (2-4 unit) in 2-2.5 years, I currently hold no property. I am trying to learn and navigate as a newbie on what is the best way to approach my first investment financially using the BRRRR method. Neighborhoods I am looking into after some research are in Humboldt Park or Little Village.

I am basically looking to connect with others who have similar interests and goals and make friends in the industry, while bringing value to each other in the future. I am a bit of an introvert and am going to have to muster up a lot of courage to attend, but wanted to reach out to see if anyone could recommend any credible meet ups in the Chicagoland/Northern Suburbs area. I know some have reputations of trying to pitch paid teaching/program and such, and I'm trying to avoid these. I am looking to learn as much as I can with friendly/welcoming people who are open to an absolute newbie attending.

I am hopeful in the next coming weeks to months, to find a seasoned BRRRR and flip investors who I may add value to on weekends in exchange for being able to have a real world look at their day to day operations while working on an investment multifamily property.

Thank you for any recommendations and suggestions you may have. I have never been more challenged, excited, and happy about life than working towards my investing goals. 

Highly recommend looking into the champaign area!

Hi,

I will be a college graduate in May, and I have been seeking out opportunities in the real estate industry to help me get started. I want to first build some capital and more knowledge by woking in the industry to begin investing soon. I want to find a job under a real estate developer in Chicago, if not I have been considering working as an agent for NetWorth Realty in Chicago. I've been looking a lot at their employee/customer reviews and feedback for a few months now, and so far, I've seen a lot that I like about the company. I see it as a great opportunity and something that alines with working towards my career goals. I have not seen a lot about the Chicago office and would like some insight from current or former employees, even if you're not out of the Chicago office. Customers, what are your experiences with NetWorth also?
