@Chris GonzalesGenerally speaking, a "good" coach or mentor will look for you to provide value to their business unless you're paying for the knowledge, skills and Rolodex. 

I need real comps when it comes time to figure the accurate number when speaking to the prospective seller.

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.
