Hi all! 

I'm not new to BiggerPockets, but had yet to create a member account. I've recently been getting more serious about finding a fix/flip and am in search of my first deal. *cough* get at me with off-market deals *cough*. :D Also, I'm looking forward to connecting with locals and learning as much as I possibly can.

Hazel crest might not be so bad for a new investor. I am in Homewood and Flossmoor and those markets can be tough and a higher price point to get them done but Hazel Crest can be much less capital risk when you are learning. Just make sure you pick a great realtor on the back end sales. PM me and I can refer a good realtor for that model if you're serious.
