New member from Chicago ready to LEARN!

[John Hamrin]

Hello everyone,

My name is John. I've lived in Chicago for three years now and love being in this city. Real estate investing/entrepreneurship is something I am very interested in learning and becoming successful at. Not only is real estate investing one of the most established wealth building formats but it also gives me the opportunity to get my hands dirty and build something. 

My plan currently is to become a carpenter (take my entrance exam for apprenticeship next month) and get good at working on houses with the end goal being to flip house for large profits. I figure if I know how to do most of the work I can save money on the labor costs, and it's fulfilling for me to build things. During my apprenticeship I want to take advantage of wholesaling. My main goal throughout my real estate journey is to LEARN. I never want to stop learning and growing. 

I look forward to all the great things Bigger Pockets can offer and hopefully I can connect with many of you on this site.

Thanks!
