Analyze deals, build your network, and educate yourself constantly.If you have access to unique resources (like a VA loan, FHA Loan, or 401K), use them to your advantage!

I was strongly considering joining before I read this, now I am going to go the hard route, but probably best to just stay active on here and go the extra effort to network with accomplished developers in my area.

Now I'm selling using word of mouth as there is a network of investors friends/family are spreading the word to.

Meetups are another excellent source of education and networking.

Networking with local investors, joining Chicago real estate meetups, and connecting with experienced agents can help you find the right deals.Good luck!

Network, Network, Network.Meet others at meetings.

My CIPS® designation and global network allow me to offer clients insights into international real estate trends as well.

Every day is about finding ways to stay productive—reading, strategizing, networking, and setting myself up for the next opportunity.I know I’m not alone in this.
