Attending workshops or conferences, and listening to podcasts, Ted talks, and audiobooks will also help change and recondition one’s mind.

This process above works. Hope

For Chicago, definitely take a good read of the CRLTO (Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance) here: https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/doh/provdrs/renters/svcs/rents-rights.htmlSee also free or nearly free workshops from CIC (Community Investment Coproration - nonprofit) here:http://www.cicchicago.com/documents-training/property-management-training/workshop-schedule/... and of course, it is always good to have a network to discuss with like BP and if using an agent, one who actually owns rental properties for advice. 

Let me know if you want to join.Starting with this meeting I will be introducing work shops.

There are also many workshops you can attend for more information as well https://paii.wildapricot.org/Industry-Events

*I have NEVER attended a workshop and did not get a first and last name...and these,"experts, " will say we are not affiliated with fortune builders so we don't provide cards, but you should at the very least a last name.

I'm a broker and I still go to seminars, workshops and I'm in a real estate class now at Temple.

I 'm a little frustrated because of all the podcasts/workshops/forums etc.

Some who have the room offer public working spaces or just a room to rent by the day, areas to host workshops and other events are common.

Also, I have listened to 147 BP podcasts starting from episode 1, and attended a free weekend workshop from one of the Texas gurus.
