Success in real estate investing requires also a personal transformation (who you are) and that breaks down in 3 steps.

For your real estate journey, networking with other investors and developing a network in Chicago might lead to intriguing chances.If you have any specific questions or if there's anything you'd like advice on as you make this transition, feel free to ask.Best of luck with your endeavors, and may your real estate ventures be prosperous in both Houston and Chicago! 

All the best in your endeavors! 

I think you will find it to be a stronger opportunity than Kokomo.Like with any out of State endeavor, it's critical to have a good team on the ground to point you the right direction.  

That and maybe I'll go viral.So I invite you to comment, question, reply, upvote, share, DM, email, and otherwise ping me if you think you could help this unfortunate fool muddle through this endeavor.

I regard a Coach or a Mentor as someone who can serve as a viable guide, based upon their own proven and verifiable track record of success in their own endeavors, and in helping others to succeed.Thanks in advance for your support, encouragement and advice!

Honestly, even my own spending habits have dramatically transformed from my first deal to now, but part of that is where I allocate my time, and what I pay to outsource to others.

All the best in your endeavors; you are in some great company among the forums here!

@Traver FreemanForemost, I admire your spirit of inquiry; a curious person like you will do well in any endeavor that they chose to undertake.It's similar to the trait of dedication that @Kevin Yoo and @Jay Hinrichs share in giving you their experiences.My experience resembles that of @Carlos Hernandez as a Bay Area investor looking out of state and realizing that cheaper markets are not truly "passive". 

You have just positioned yourself with confidence as the investor that you endeavor to become.
