Welcome @Dan Wood . If you're looking for a group to network with in Chicago. I recommend @Brie Schmidt 's meetup. There's one next Tuesday. Here's her post.

Welcome @Ryan Chorbagian . I highly recommend @Brie Schmidt 's meetups. I've been multiple times and it's a great place to learn and network with like-minded people!

Wow. Great lesson shared @Jonathan Avila . 

I'm glad you called @George Foster for his expert opinion. He checked out my first deal as well and gave it his stamp of approval. 

He knows what he's talking about and is always willing to help newbies even when there isn't necessarily a financial benefit for him. That's just who he is. 

I'm glad he was able to save you from losing money!

Awesome @Gary Shaw . Any luck yet? Feel free to add me to your buyers list in case you get any deals that have room for "co-opetition". I'll do the same!

Thanks @Anil Samuel . At the time of this deal, the ONLY method of lead generation I had was door-to-door flyers in my farm area. I personally like the idea of choosing a farm area (at least to start) and becoming a "big fish in a smaller pond" where your marketing dollars go further and people in the area begin to think of you when they're ready to sell. 

Thanks @Larmon Cummings Jr and congrats on doing your first wholesale deal! Can you share the details of it? We can all learn something from each other's successes (and sometimes failures!)

@Vladimir K. , to echo @Wendell De Guzman !

Thank you @Terri Lewis ! I'm glad you found it inspiring.

Thanks @Justin Simpkins . Yes I'm building a great team. @George Foster and @Brie Schmidt have put together a great group in Chicago. If you happen to be visiting from Honolulu sometime, you should swing by the meetup :-) (Maybe in the summer though, as you probably don't miss the Chicago winters lol)
