About us
Real estate doesn't have to be scary! We want to remove the fear of investing and leave you with the tools and knowledge to leverage your assets and scale up. Chicago realtor, Sarita Scherpereel, has helped numerous house hackers and investors purchase investment properties in Illinois. There is a lot of uncertainty in investing. We aim to help investors at any stage, inquiring, beginners and seasoned investors learn the best ways to navigate the market, properties, and their specific transaction. By attending our meetup, you will learn how to make more educated decisions and not give in to analysis paralysis.
On the second Tuesday of each month we cover a new topic. Recent meetups have discussed creative financing through construction loans and lines of credit, best practices in property management, renovations, and managing short term rentals. You'll have time to learn, ask questions and network with other investors in the area to learn what works, and more importantly, what doesn't. We hope you'll join us!

Keeping It Real Estate Meetup-Using Financing to create Generational Wealth
Navigator Taproom, 2211 N Milwaukee Ave #100, Chicago, IL, USWelcome to the Keeping It Real Estate Meetup! We will be joined by Michael Facchini and Brendon Heneks from Fairway Mortgage to discuss how to use financing to create generational wealth in real estate. Michael is a lending expert in Chicago who started house hacking and investing at a very young age. Over the years, his experience has ranged from initial house hacks to ground-up new developments, allowing him to build a substantial long-term portfolio. I personally rely on his financial expertise for my own buildings as well as for our clients' purchases. Brendon will also be sharing his insights on investing. In 2024, Brendon purchased a two-unit property through our team. After performing only light updates with minimal capital, he refinanced last year and earned over $100,000 in equity. He will be sharing the next steps of his investment journey with us.
You don't want to miss this dynamic duo as they share their insights on how they financed their way into generational wealth.
Doors open at 6:30 pm for networking. The discussion panel starts at 7 pm.
