Chance welcome to the site and it is nice to meet you. With your background, REI should be an easy transition. Are you looking to do rehabs/buy and hold ??

Please note that writing in ALL CAPS is considered rude. Please do not do so on the forum in the future. Much appreciated.

I hope to see you around the site and good luck to you on starting a new life as an investor!!!

Welcome to the site. Great you are taking the first step into controlling your own destiny and future.

Gary has a ton of opportunities. I know many investors that work in that marketplace. In fact, I think they have a meeting over in Merrilville tonight.

Anyway, I am just across the border in Chicago, so feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to you being a great contributor here at Bigger Pockets. It is a great site!

Chance,

:welcome: to BP.

You said you quit your job as the pay check was not steady. What will be your focus when it comes to RE investing so that you have steady income?

Chance,

There is a forum here on BP to review deals. You can see what others are looking at and you can post a deal to get advice.

The formulas are pretty straight forward so I am sure you will get the hang of it.
