Perhaps we should grab coffee! 

I don’t want anything in return—just hoping to network, make new friends, and maybe be of help or value to you in any way.If you're up for grabbing a quick lunch, coffee, or beer (on me!)

If you would like to connect, please check out my profile for contact info, and let's setup a time to have a cup of coffee, either in person or virtually!

Key Check gave me credit and debt load, which was surprising, as most other methods people don't share.

We can meetup sometime for coffee.

As well as coffee shops like Bottoms Up Coffee are moving in and small microbreweries like brew dog and Land Grant.

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.

Make sure you account for all of your interest load if youre using a Heloc for permanent financing as you suggest.

Your book is excellent and loaded with practical advice!!

Thank you all who responded, I plan on spending some time driving the neighborhood and talking to anyone at the local coffee shop who will talk to me.
