Hello from Toronto to Chicago and NW Indiana (and I guess Orlando, Florida and Washington DC/Virginia too)

So I guess my "newby introduction" is long overdue - considering I've been posting on biggerpockets for a while now.

I'll try and demystify my Subject a bit and explain my history at the same time:

I live in Toronto, Canada but have some good experience flipping properties long distance in Chicago (5 and counting - with 4 more on the go) and Orlando (1).  I want to continue flipping but also start to build up a rental portfolio in Chicago and NW Indiana.

I've worked with private lenders, hard money lenders, funding (equity) partners [my favorite, by the way] and even some of my own money!  :)

Most of my partners and private lenders are Canadian but I also have a partner from the Washington DC / Virginia area.

Biggerpockets has been great so far and I'm looking forward to doing a lot more business with you all!

I challenge anyone reading this to leave a comment listing their hometown and market - let's see if we can trend this intro!  Woo hoo!  LOL
