Hello all!  I live 30 minutes outside Chicago and I'm attempting to start a second career as a real estate investor and agent.

I've been a full-time career Firefighter/Paramedic for 13 years and I want to find another career to transition into so I can leave the fire service in 8-10 years.  I'm fortunate to work with 3 other Firefighters who are already successful investors so I sort of have mentors already!  

I have yet to get make any deals although I have come close on a few off market deals.  I'm looking for buy and holds but I will consider flips as well.    Thanks for listening!

Dan
