Hi all, I am fairly new to BiggerPockets & the whole real estate world. I’ve been spending all my free time (aka driving, during lunch, etc) reading & watching videos & educating myself on everything I can possibly learn.
I realized there are 300+ markets & I’d like to get to know my own. I am in Plainfield, IL about 40 mins from Chicago.
***Does anyone have ANY info / insight around me? ***
My interest involves purchasing and renting out my properties ~ multifamily homes / small apartments.
I think starting smaller will be safer for my first.

@Account Closed Welcome to BP and the world of investing. While it's great to connect with the investors virtually, you should also start networking locally by finding local REI groups via BP and meetup site. It will be a good learning curve for you to surround yourself with like-minded investors and potentially find properties in your desired neighborhood.
