Greetings from Northwest Indiana!

Greetings BP community!  I've listened to the podcast for a few months now and joined the site a little bit ago, so I decided to start participating in the forums as well.

I've been interested in real estate for a long time now and my wife and I are in a situation where we can finally start acting on our goals in the next couple months.  I'm interested in starting off purchasing small multi-family properties as buy-and-holds, most likely beginning with a duplex at the start of 2016.  

My goal is to build a respectable portfolio under an LLC that could one day allow me to leave full time jobs and work for myself. I have dreams of starting with a small duplex, but snowballing into multiple four-units within a matter of years.

I'm also interested in making contacts in the area (or anywhere) to share advice, opportunities, or even some drinks!
