@Ian Rowland 

I invest near midway airport. I’m looking for my next property in close proximity to the area. Huge shift in rentals in the area. 

Hi @Scott Harper, Great to hear that you've started on your real estate journey! I am an investor on the south-side of Chicago. I've seen great returns, and currently looking for my third property. Southwest/western suburbs are great for rentals.

Welcome to the community, @Francheska K.! 

Congratulations on starting your journey in real estate. The opportunities in real estate are abundant in Chicago. I have 2 rentals on the south-side of Chicago and now looking for my third. 

Which neighborhoods are you looking at? 

@Ian Rowland Your plan is so doable! I started house-hacking three years ago and currently have 2 properties and look for my 3rd now! Keep reading, listening to podcast, and networking is key! Network with others, attend different events. I have met so many people that have provided me invaluable information. @John Warren also has helped me, as well!

Agree with Jonathan. I am in the same exact boat! I am working full-time and just passed my test a couple of weeks ago. I would recommend doing your research prior to passing the exam to find a sponsoring broker. I was able to find mine before passing my test, that way, once you pass, you can start practicing right away. Most find a sponsoring broker AFTER they pass their test and it can take a few weeks to research and interview. I got that done before so I can start right away. Hope that helps!

Ah, gotcha!

Thank you, John! This is very helpful. I would like to contest my property taxes for a condo. It sits next to another one of my condos in a different block that has lower property taxes. Any recommendations for contesting? Thanks! 

Great question, I’m looking for condo rentals in Oak Lawn. It’s a growing city! Which type of property are you looking to purchase?

super helpful, thank you!

@Stanley Bronstein thanks, makes sense!
