Hello, Bigger Pockets community! My name is Daniel Vargas, and I am a real estate investor based in Chicago, Illinois. I started my investment journey in January of 2023 and am incredibly grateful that I did. Like many of us here, I felt as though my life was on auto-pilot, and I wasn't working towards anything meaningful. Real estate has given me a new purpose in life and opened my eyes to many opportunities. I joined Bigger Pockets to immerse myself into the real estate community further. I am very excited to meet and connect with everyone that I can!

@Daniel Vargas

One thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 4

1. Your contractor

2. Your deal finder (agent/wholesaler)

3. Your property manager

4. Your Lender

My suggestion to find #2 & #4 would be to go to the top of this page and click on FIND AN AGENT & FIND A LENDER. There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents or loan officers in your area. My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews. That way you know they are active in the BP community!
