Newbie in the Twin Cities Introduction

[Mohammed El-Bashir]

Hello everyone! I am a new investor starting out from the Twin Cities. My name is Mohammed H. El-Bashir, originally from Sudan, moved into the US around 2005. My background is in law, I passed the bar and now eagerly waiting the chance to swear in! I have previously helped some family members search and buy properties but I have yet to close on my own. Had a couple attempts where I made it far but frankly the market here has been so competitive it has led me to seek my fortune elsewhere, specifically in Chicago, where I have a good friend doing real estate. 

I am really on the forum to learn, be humble, and seek out the right advice from the right people. While I don't have much experience I am also more than happy to answer questions and hopefully pay back this wonderful community with my own experiences down the road!
