Hi, my name is Ariana.  I live in Chicago with my husband.  We're currently renting out my old condo in Michigan and looking to invest in properties here in Chicago.  Although I have one under my belt, I still consider myself a newbie.  I learned mostly by trial and error.  I'm really excited to develop a new network and learn from everyone on the site!

    @Ariana King - Hey Ariana, welcome to BP. There is plenty on information on this site. I find the weekly podcasts very helpful. For a newbie like me - it provides great insights to different ways to invest in real estate and learn and understand the tricks and trades from some of the best minds with the real estate industry.

    I am a newbie too and looking to get my first turn-key project under my belt. Still learning though and gather information and building network.

    What areas of Chicago are you planning to invest? Feel free to post questions and you will find plenty of answers.

    Thanks!  I'm interested in the south side, primarily Woodlawn.  The University of Chicago is putting a lot of money into the neighborhood and I'm expecting a lot of growth.  What about you? @Tushar Shah

    Woodlawn is hot! And a great place to invest in! I do work often in these areas would love to sync up. I'm sure everyone knows of the news by now but woodlawn is a place to look out for in the future
