Hopefully I will have success connecting with people in Chicago and via BP. 

Typically I recommend that people get very clear on your vision for not only what you want to do but the exact markets you want to do projects in and narrow your focus to those.

I don't feel there is one answer to this question as every property is different and what are your goals, how much time do you have to manage, what are your strengths when it comes to working the trades, people skills, etc as that will help drive towards your super power. 

The most successful people that I have heard on podcasts and met in real estate know that it is all about getting a single here and there and then going to get a homerun while doing those singles.

But what do people think of this offering? 

But the wholesalers are people that can legitimately close on the deal, and typically will should it not pan out. 

Im a licensed Real Estate Agent, looking for advice and to just network with people.  

I'd be happy to show you around the calculators, I have seen people use the calculator results to bring to meetups and try to raise funds that way 

I’m especially interested in value-add opportunities where I can renovate and increase equity.I’m here to learn from experienced investors, connect with like-minded people, and share my journey along the way.

Looking forward to meeting people on here and learning.
