Due to scheduling issues, we've had to change our featured speaker for this event to:

Laura Baker, Real Estate Broker with Evergreen Real Estate for 24 years. Laura has managed her and her husband's portfolio for 25 years. She manages over 70 tenants in residential as well as commercial properties. She has knowledge of the housing programs. She has also flipped and rehabbed properties working hands-on throughout the projects. Laura has also been a speaker for the National Real Estate Investors Association on past cruises teaching property management. She is one of the six founders of the CAREIA - setting up the policies and procedures for the organization. As well as a past President for five years.

She will share how to get up and running with confidence in the area of managing your properties. Taking away your fear of the scary parts of owning real estate is her goal. Learn some great organizational skills and tools to use when talking to tenants. She'll help you find a path that best suits you when building a portfolio.

Post: FREE ONLINE WEBINAR: Evictions During COVID With Sue Vitello

Susan focuses her practice on real estate law, estate planning, and business/corporate law, and also provides general counsel to her business clients. If you own investment property, you will need an attorney who is well versed in landlord tenant law so you don’t violate federal, state or local laws which could end up costing you thousands in fines and penalties.

Because Susan was a Real Estate Broker and has invested in various forms of real property for almost four decades, individuals began asking her to represent them in real estate matters, including real estate closings, evictions, leasing issues, landlord tenant law, zoning issues and anything else related to real estate. Susan represents many homeowner associations in several areas such as amendments to declarations, by-laws and rules and regulations, rule enforcement, collections, directions to board of directors, assessment collections, special assessment procedure, running the association meetings, and many other issues associated with managing a homeowner’s association.

Want to know what it takes to create streams of income? Want to get out of the rat-race and into the fast-track with money that's working harder than you are!?

RSVP NOW! >>

Let us show you how! We are the Chicago Area Real Estate Investors Association, a Not-For-Profit Organization, we meet every 4th Monday of the month and get together to teach, learn, and play Cashflow 101 (created by Robert Kiyosaki).

What is the Cashflow 101 Board Game?

We will teach you how to create your own personal balance sheets, basic investing math and accounting, analyzing prospective investment opportunities in a risk-free environment, creative acquisition strategies, and most importantly, how to get your money to work for you, instead of you working it!

We've put together a few crash course videos on how to play the game to get your feet wet before you join us:

Lastly, for 30-60 minutes, we discuss real-life deals, applicable lessons from the game, and strategies for getting out of the real Rat Race.

Let the fun begin. Hurry!
