I'll let others chime in on their experiences, but from a motivational perspective, I think attending live events and getting the "conference high" is something that only happens through in-person connections and being in the same room with investors who are eagerly pursuing their real estate/financial goals. 

I wanted to invest where I wanted to live and I am also from Elgin so am constantly headed further nw. 

The person worked for H&R Block, now works for TurboTax Live and is being honest about their skills: NOT QUALIFIED.

Back in 2022, we tackled a property we affectionately called the "Scary House," and trust me, it lived up to the name.

My dream is to achieve financial freedom through multifamily rental properties and live life on my own terms.Recently, I have been reading one book after another, trying to absorb as much information as possible, and am extremely thankful to finally find this amazing community.

I live in the area and just gave up looking for now.
