Newbie in the far west Chicago suburbs
Hi all! My name is Chris and I'm new to Bigger Pockets and love all the information here. I own one rental property that was my previous primary residence. After the market down turn, my family and I needed a bigger home, so we were able to make a deal on a foreclosure that actually needed very little work. As stressful as that process was, I really enjoyed looking for, and evaluating all those houses.
I'd like to get a few more rentals and maybe do a flip or two. I'm a mechanic by trade, so I'm use to getting my hands dirty and working long hours.
Any advice you all can give me would be much appreciated!

Hi Chris Bork , I am also a Auto Tech by trade. I currently have one multi in the western suburbs. Have you checked out the podcasts? There is a lot of info there, you will be hooked! Also, it would be nice to meet you at one of the local BP meets. Welcome to BP. See you around!
