I’m not in the game yet, but I’ve been diving into this to prepare for my first multi-family deal.

This my friends on BP is just the reality of Real Estate you have two basic methods One mom and pop keep their day jobs and start buying long term hold rentals as they can afford them and if they like it they keep at it..Two you jump in the game and try to make money transactionally IE RE Broker  Flipper Wholesaler MLO  leasing agent etc etc.. this also is a long term ramp.. what the Guru programs attract generally speaking is those that get excited think they can somehow buy a program ( any program pick one) and its going to jump start them to this mythical financial freedom everyone talks about..

My girlfiend and I are looking in La Grange and Brookfield which is not quite as fast west as you, but my aunt lives in Wheaton so I am quite familiar with your area.What's your game plan over the next two years? 

Look for sponsors that have been in the real estate industry thru several economic and market cycles.

I can tell they are both on top of their game.

Brokers have their place in the industry as do retail banks/mortgage bankers.

End goal is get into the commercial housing and industrial.

Would love to connect.I'm currently eyeing at least a 3/2 with a pool/hot tub and area for a game room outside of an HOA.Thank you!

I'm closing on a 74k sq ft (5 warehouses) Class B Industrial facility this week. 

Love to hear your getting in the game at 21!
