Newbie Here!!! To Chicago and Real Estate

Rhoda Agyepong
Posted

Hello Everyone! I’m a newbie here on BP (podcast listener just never took the step to engage on here). I’m from NYC (family is still there) and recently moved to Chicago for work. I’m in one of those rotation programs that move you around every 6 mos-1 year.( This is one of the biggest reasons why I have felt like I could not start my RE investing — where would I even buy?). I’m interested in the Chicago area and the NJ-PA-MA (as I will most likely be returning to NYC they are easy commutes). 

I stalked a couple of posts on here already and I’m super impressed with the energy and learning that is happening. Can’t wait to join the BP family and learn some great things!

Welcome @Rhoda Agyepong! Have you considered buying duplexes each time you have to make a move for work? Then living in one and having the tenant in the other cover most, if not all of your mortgage. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
