Hello BP Nation!

I am looking to start my RE investing in 2014. I live in Gurnee, Illinois which is by the Illinois\Wisconsin border. BP podcast brought me here and helps to keep me motivated.

Due to the fact that I already have the full time job I am thinking about starting part time as a buy and hold investor. It doesn't seem like my local area can support that strategy very well but things start looking up once you cross the border into Wisconsin.

I'm also thinking about investing into vacation properties.

Looking forward to be a part of this community and helping others in whatever way I can.

Sebastian

Greetings @Sebastian Boruta 

I'm in Waukegan. I'm full time employed and investing part time with buy and hold.  Actually working on closing a 2 unit here in the next 2 weeks.  We should get together sometime over lunch. If you haven't you should also look at Lake County Property Investors Association (LCPIA).  We meet 2nd Tuesday of each month. 

I'm with you as I'm also starting to look in WI area.  And I've also been networking with the Milwaukee BiggerPockets group which meets the last Saturday of the month. It's about 45 minute drive from us.  @Ramon Jenkins is an agent in WI as well as a member of the group. Good people to meet.  Thanks @Brie Schmidt for shouting me out. I need to update my keyword alert or maybe browse a little more.
