@Jennifer Day That’s where I plan on looking as well once I get started. What’s your approach to getting leads in the area? Are you involved/planning on getting involved in any meetup groups or real estate investing organizations?

Hello,

I am a senior in college finishing up my last semester. In July I am starting my career in investment banking in Chicago.

During this downtime I have invested nearly all of my time into learning about real estate investing and educating myself before I start investing on the side of my job. I am interested in investing in multi-family residences. The plan is to spend my first year of work saving money and learning absolutely everything I can about investing in multi-family properties. Then come around May-July of 2021 I want to buy my first multi-family residence (most likely a duplex or triplex). Then I want to slowly "trade-up" and continue saving and adding more properties as I work towards larger multi-family residences. My goal is to own luxury apartment complexes down the road.

My Favorite Business Book: Rich Dad Poor Dad

My Favorite Real Estate Related Book: The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner

Hobbies/Interests: College Football, MLB, NBA, NFL, architecture, The Office, golf, surfing

Contact: I am very responsive to my email which can be found on my profile.

Thanks a lot and I hope to meet and learn from some of you.

I am new just starting to learn about real estate investing and I want to start calling some real estate brokers in order to start practicing some conversations and see how I handle them. If I call an agent regarding a listed property that's for sale how should I expect this conversation to go? What kind of questions will they ask me and what kind of questions should I ask them? I don't want to go in completely blind. Thanks a lot!
