Hello from Central Illinois!

[Michael M.]

Hey Bigger Pockets! After listening to both the money and real estate podcasts for the last year or so I decided to join the forums (a little while ago) and I’m finally getting around to introducing myself. My name is Mike and I’m from Pleasant Plains, IL. I currently own one rental property in Chatham, IL, but I’m hoping to grow my rental portfolio in the near future. I’ve found great value in the podcasts and I hope that I’ll be able to give back to the community now that I’ve joined the forum. I’d love to meet with investors in my area and discuss our local market, deals, collaboration, and real estate in general! So far my experience in real estate has been positive. It has helped us to achieve financial goals that we had otherwise not been able to meet. In my free time I enjoy biking, hiking, fishing, camping, and pretty much anything else outdoors. I look forward to meeting bigger pockets members, and thanks for providing such an amazing resource for real estate investors!
