Enthusiastic New Investor in Chicagoland Area - How can I help?

[Andrew Perillo]

Hello BiggerPockets Community!

My name is Andrew and I am an engineer who has just relocated to the Chicagoland area. I am an aspiring real estate investor looking to expand knowledge and network with like-minded individuals with similar goals and accomplishments. Real estate investing has always been very appealing to me and I am extremely intrigued by the culture that surrounds this industry. After years of paralysis by analysis I am finally ready to dive into my first property!

I am primarily interested in generating passive income with single family and multi-unit homes. I have goals of contributing my engineering/project management background to creatively house hack and streamline growth potential. I am initially going to invest while using my full time job as leverage to generate a second stream of income to achieve my financial goals.

I love to network and identify how my skills & strengths can help others. I am excited to be apart of this community and I am looking forward to expanding my real estate investing knowledge with all of you. Please feel free to reach out to me. Let's grow our BiggerPockets network together! How can I help??
