@Armell MayersBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.

I love that you have specific goals for 2025 - I believe if we think it, write it, say it, and share it our goals are 10x more likely to come to fruition.Are you able to do option 2 and just house hack a 2-4 unit building and use a renovation loan which allows you to put down 3.5-5%I highly suggest getting to some local chicago meetup groups (we have an in person one on the 17th)...here is BPs list: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a full list of the chicago meetups that I can share with you too if that'd be helpful.

With that strategy, I'm not a real estate agent BUT I am also reading a book called "BUY, REHAB,RENT, REFINANCE, REPEAT.

Hey, I’m looking to connect and network with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals.

I'm a rookie real estate investor hoping to find or build a community of like-minded women.

If you're purchasing a single family home you can use traditional financing like you probably did on your house or you can do a commercial loan.

I am on a real estate journey to grow and obtain a potent Real Estate Portfolio.

Welcome to the world of real estate investing, and congratulations on taking the first steps toward learning about this exciting space!

That's a very low amount given it's a commercial property.

Does anyone know any type of real estate meet ups that are happening in Chicago in the month of January?
