NOTE: There will be pitching of products, services or properties at this event!
Time of Event: 03/17/2015 at 06:30PM
Location: Dino's Pizza in Norwood Park
Fee to Attend: Free

The Meetup for Chicago Investors on the 3rd Tuesday at Dino's Pizza located at 7004 West Higgins Avenue from 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm.

Like always, these events are not sponsored by any person or company so the events are 100% networking. We do a "Shark Tank" style event in the beginning of the meetups. So if you have a deal you need a partner on, present it to the group. We have created a one sheet template for pitching deals to streamline the presentations, so please email me at [email protected] to get a copy. This is not a format for selling deals, it is only for people looking for partners

6:30 - 7:00 - Networking
7:00 - 7:30 - "Shark Tank" Presentations
7:30 - 8:00 - Group Introductions
8:00 - ??? - Networking
Day after Event - I email out all the Shark Tank deals that were presented.

The day of the event I always email out a list of attendees, so make sure to email me by Monday at 8 pm with a short description of yourself to be included on these emails. I will also be including a list of people presenting and after the event I will email out all the deals that have been presented.

Any questions, please let me know! Email Brie and George at [email protected]

 Thank you so much Joey. I will go next month for sure.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words, encouragement and ideas. This is a wealth of information and I will pursue it, besides the books that I already read. Education is key, I know, but one can also get caught up in reading too much and not acting. So I'm going to find some groups to attend and network and I'll take it from there I guess. I will download those books, Paul, as soon as I'm done writing this post. 

I'll keep you all posted.

Hello everyone, my name is Gabi and I live in Chicago. I'm married and live in a house that we bought 3 years ago. I've been thinking of getting into real estate for a few good years now and I'm finally ready although deadly afraid. A bit of background: I'm a teacher and my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm also 46 years old so I wonder if you think it's too late for me to get into this business. I would like to primarily buy to hold and maybe a few flips along the way. I have a bit of money set aside for this, maybe enough for a small down payment. My husband is not at all interested in doing this with me but supports me in my endeavors. Any advice with what to do first would be greatly appreciated. This means greatly stepping out of my comfort zone but I'm ready. And any Chicagoans, please tell me where you guys meet to chat/ network if you do so.

Thank you so much.
