Hello from northwest indiana! NWI

I've been reading and learning about real estate for years. I purchased my primary residence about 1 year ago and recently pulled the trigger in July and picked up my first flip and sold that after 65 DOM. I listed my residence as well as picking up another flip about 1 month ago which should be ready this weekend.

I am from northwest indiana and come across deals throughout lake county Indiana, which is about 15 mins from Chicago loop. I am open to selling properties to investors for a quick profit, while waiting for some properties on the MLS TO MOVE. I am looking to network with investors and am currently looking for a CPA in the area.

I plan on primarily flipping with my own capital that I have accumulated over the years. I currently own two businesses one which I have to man 6 days a week(which makes it hard to concentrate on my flips). My starting out goal is to at the very least replace the income from the business I operate 6 days a week with flipping so I no longer have to go to work 6 days a week.

I would suggest that Lake County is a tad more than 15 minutes from the loop. I drive it all the time.

With that being said, congrats on the first flip and getting the 2nd! Are you doing the rehab work yourself?
