Hello BiggerPockets!

I bought my first properly in late 2012 - a three flat on a double lot in the Irving Park neighborhood of Chicago. I moved into one unit, renovation another, and for the last year have been fortunate enough to have a fully occupied building with great tenants.

I'm now beginning to explore opportunities for my next deal. I was originally looking into another three flat, but after hanging around BP, I've become curious about other types of deals as well and interested in learning more.

I'm excited to join the BP community and look forward to learning, teaching and making connections in Chicago and beyond!

Joey

    Hi Joey, and welcome to BP! I’m a ‘fix and hold’ investor from the Bay Area in CA, and loving it! But you’ll find a variety of every type of investor on the site, and everyone is amazingly helpful. Some pointers for you: The "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and so do BP members! You can click on the ‘vote’ button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are ‘awards’ to earn on your profile. And you can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name at the bottom of the message box. Welcome to the site, and good luck in everything!
