Breaking Into Real Estate Without Connections: My Story & How I Can Help

Hey everyone!
I’ve been quietly lurking here for a while, learning the ropes, making mistakes, and slowly figuring out this real estate thing, but I’m finally ready to jump in and contribute.

I’m Mike an investor based in Chicago. When I started, I had zero real estate experience, just a steady W-2 job, some savings, and a ton of questions.

In the early 2024, I bought my first small multifamily property, a duplex in a pretty competitive neighborhood. It was a nerve-wracking slow-going and yes, I made plenty of mistakes along the way, but the deal changed everything for me.
Since then I’ve been steadily growing my portfolio and now enjoy helping others navigate their first deals or next steps.
If you’re working towards your first property or trying to break in a high-cost market, specially if you don’t have family connections or a big network, I’d love to help however I can. Whether it’s answering questions, sharing resources, or just chatting through your deals. Feel free to reach out.
What’s been your biggest challenge so far? I’m curious to hear!

Looking forward to connecting with you all.
