Thank you very much!

Welcome to BP! It's been a big learning tool for me and a good way to read answers to questions I wouldn't think to ask. Along with connecting with a community about something we all take part in.

Welcome!
I owe the inspiration to my first purchase to the bigger pockets podcast.

Also, I have been looking for rentals in rockford, illinois. I have a realtor, and contractor, and lender out there that I would highly recommend if you would like.

What strategy do you plan on using?

Hi Bernard, welcome to the BP community!

I definitely recommend checking out the meetups that are suggested on BP and overall taking advantage of the other resources that are provided as well.

I'd love to offer advice where I can. Happy to connect!

Hi Bernard,

I use this site a lot for its member knowledge and for the tools.

Let me know if I can help.

Welcome Bernard!  I've been a BP member for a few years now, but only recently built-out my profile and started interacting in the forums.  As soon as I did that, others local to me started reaching out and I've made some great connections.  I guess, as the saying goes, you get out what you out into it.  So, lets keep being involved here and I'm sure we'll both find it rewarding to us!

On a personal note, I'm located not to far from you down in the LaSalle-Peru-Ottawa area of Illinois.  Let me know if I can be of any help to you finding investment properties.  There's lots of good deals in this area!
