I’m still new to the industry and learning different ways to approach my goals, so hearing your experience is really helpful. 

Would love to connect with others in the area and industry, I live in the Loop.

No matter your industry, being good at your job will help you as a real estate investor.5.

I do plan on building up the savings as much as I can before that time comes as I don’t want to be ill prepared for unplanned events as you mentioned.

Relationship-Based LendingBanks: Normal transactions are always cold-blooded and policy-oriented.Private Money Lenders: Most often work with borrowers to create solutions and value relationships over strict rules.The Bottom LineThe power of private money lending, I think, is a pretty effective alternative for borrowers who need speed, flexibility, and customized solutions—especially in industries like real estate investing.

I grew up in the industry and still have a hard time with holding contractors accountable.
