Investor · Chicago · Member since 2022 · 1 post · 3 votes

Hello Everyone!

I'm new to BiggerPockets. I've been listening to BP podcast for a couple of months now, what a great resource for real estate education. And it really inspired me to take action and start my journey in REI.

I'm from Chicago, planning to purchase my first property by Summer this year. Currently looking for a multifamily or single family investment, In Chicago area or surrounding suburbs

I look forward to grow my real estate knowledge through BP community!
