One additional thing I would suggest is to speak with people doing the type and style of investing that most interests you.

I can only speak from my own experience, start to familarize yourself with homepath.com, as a realtor you will be able to bid directly for fanne Mae foreclosure.

I am very new to this, but I am looking to speak to someone and ask various questions.

Good person to speak to and he is not affiliated to any groups but his own company.Hope that helps as well Alex

Be sure to speak up if you have any specific questions.

I can't speak specifically about Chicago, as I invest in the burbs, but I'm not aware of any IL law that restricts rent increases. 

Have her give me a call and I can speak with her about the process and give her lender referrals so she can get things started.

@Christy Harris I would love to speak with Emily.

All I'm saying is that based on speaking with those attorneys, these types of JV deals are best done with friends/family who aren't likely to sue you if something goes wrong and you lose money in the deal.

Working on a fourth as we speak.
