@Mikaela English Hey Mikaela! I will send you a DM with some resources on this! No doubt it's important to have a high quality REI lawyer to go to.

@John Warren Looking forward to this! That's quite a write up @Mark Ainley, lot to be proud of! 

See you there @Jonathan Klemm! 

 Thanks for the shoutout @John Warren. 

@Nanda Kishore just sent you a connection request and DM. 

@John Warren Appreciate the shout out, John. Always happy to expand the network and see how we can help people! 

@Arturas Zakutis Sending you a connection request and message now! 

@Paul Brower Hey Paul congrats on the 4 slow BRRRSs! That does sound exhausting. 

I wanted to respond to the meetups part of this - this is a good resource for a ton of meetups in the area: https://www.straightupchicagoinvestor.com/chicago-real-estat...

Also a great podcast to check out if you like BP. 

 Just sent you a connect request with direct contact info! 

@Tom Sehon - I have worked with Taylor Haas and Renee Marzolf at Colorado Realty & Property Management and they do a great job. I understand Michael's point above, but I know CRPM has been in business for a long time, anecdotally they have been excellent, and their online reviews across multiple platforms suggest I am not alone in this thinking. 

Here's their site if you want to check them out - https://www.coloradorpm.com/

@Faiz Kanash 

Sounds like a fun project! Just sent you a direct message. I do think the strategy makes sense. 

@Nathan Witte Congrats and welcome to a great industry and market! @Mark Ainley thanks for the shout out! 

I'll connect with you here and send a DM, but a few things to keep in mind;

1. Understanding how to save money is key --> this doesn't mean penny pinch/pound foolish, it means; where are the biggest percentages of my income going and how can I reduce those 

2. If you're looking for a homerun - i.e. a househack that covers your entire living expense, with cash flow, that's turnkey in the neighborhood you want, for a reasonable price and is easy to maintain, you could be looking for a while (inventory + analysis paralysis) --> manage your expectation of what a "good deal" looks like and form that phrase "good deal" around what is realistic for your situation. 

Looking forward to chatting! 

Hey @Sean P Colon! A few have touched on it, but if you are local to Chicago, there isn't a better place to start than Straight Up Chicago Investor. It has local, down to earth investors talking about the neighborhoods and suburbs you're probably already familiar with. I will shoot you a DM with a good one to start with. Also I'll link to the website because there is a lot of other good information on there about investing in Chicago. --> Straight Up Chicago Investor
