"Diving into real estate as a newbie—ready to learn, connect, and turn knowledge into deals.

Quote from @David Cooper: Quote from @Lauren Sanford: Quote from @Jim Rice: Lauren, really just trying to put together a group that would what to meet up if possible and share education, information & build relationships.

@Chanel Snerling not sure why you are so focused on building?

I have better luck with posting in the zillow rental section;   rent before you buy, live in a great property while you get yourself ready to finance a great home....Our business model;   protect the buyer or tenant at even our own expense. 

Once you know you are ready to buy your first REI you need stay glued to sites like Zillow, Realtor, Redfin, and other FSBO sites to help your agent find a property. 

Purchase price: $1,500,000 Cash invested: $35,000 4-Unit building in Wicker Park, Chicago. 3-unit front building with a duplex up and a back brick coach house.

Building a trusted team is key, so starting that process as you actively search for your market will put you in a strong position moving forward.

Demoed the house, will be building a new house on site.

Fix-and-flips and new builds are always exciting!

I was getting ready for a second round and a family emergency came up.
