New member in Chicago, IL

Hi everyone, I am a new member currently living in Chicago, but grew up in greater Detroit with a desire to get back there some day. I have minimal real estate experience apart from trying to buy a condo with my wife right now (tried to convince her to do a multi, but she didn’t bite). I work at Google now, but was in wealth management for a year. I have a strong desire to start getting more into real estate, likely starting out small and slow, but would love to get into flipping and large multi-families someday if I could make this my full time career. Hoping to get more involved in the community and thankful to have found Bigger Pockets!

@Paul Bommarito welcome to BP!

To start with house hacking is great...2-4 unit building and living in one unit while renting out others. That can also allow for live-in flip like living for couple years and moving to next one...lower down payment like fha 203k etc is also great option for this...cheers!
