Focus on connecting with the ones who add the most value and ask for the least from you.

The energy in person is different for me, and I've made some of my best connections and friends at Chicago meetups.Here is a list of the Chicago event from BP: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a list of ALL THE CHICAGO MEETUPS that I am happy to share with you. 

Looking to make new connections here. 

I am happy to make some connections with some other Chicago investors as well!

Then you have to align the beams so they connect with each other. 

Plus, if you'd like to connect and talk marketing/sales happy to do coffee or something.Also, there are tons of Facebook groups for Chicago real estate.Lastly, just doing some 1:1 networking with lenders, agents, and architects is something we focus heavily on.

I'll send you a PM so we can connect.

Being that every new member gets a connection request from me, I get all of these spam messages myself and do my best to remove obvious spammers immediately.

It may be worth joining your local REIA or find some REI networking events in your area to connect with other flippers. 

I’m eager to learn as much as possible in the coming year and look forward to connecting with many of you.
