Newbie from Chicago

Hi Guys! I just wanted to introduce myself to the BP community. I am a newbie from Chicago area. Currently, I am in the process of gaining as much information as possible (reading books and BP ofcourse). I have joined couple of REI clubs in my area, and I have some meetings coming up in next couple of weeks. My goal would be to network with as many people as I can at these REI club meetings.

I see myself as a buy and hold investor, my goal is to buy 2 of these properties by the end of this year. I have learned a lot about cashflow from BP so far, and I am also reading a book specific to RE cashflow. I feel like I am ready to jump in the REI world, but I am also closing on my first place in a few weeks, so want to be done with that before I decide on an investment property, but this gives me a lot of time to learn more about REI world.

I look forward to being an active part of the BP community. Happy investing everyone!
