@Jonathan Klemm Thank you so much for the very warm welcome. It is nice to see that there are many people who really see the benefit of attaining a license. Currently, I am finishing off my reading and will be completing the school exam at the end of this month. The official licensing exam will be completed (and passed) shortly thereafter. 

In regards to the investing on the Southside, it appears that there is some revitalization occurring and I thought it would a good idea to jump on it now while it's making an upward climb. Of course, I am open to seeing it from a more experienced investors point of view and not just my optimistic side. 

And yes, I have definitely thought about the house hacking option in my neck of the woods and this will probably be where I make my first investment. 

Lastly, thank you so much for providing me with that contact information! Being brand new, it is nice to be set in the right direction with many of these topics. I will definitely take a moment to reach out and see how what information he can provide me with. 

@Lauren Apicella hello to you! Are you a native of Naperville or have you been transplanted from somewhere else?

@Alex Linden thank you so much for the warm welcome and for dropping a great piece of info regarding the current market in Illinois. That is exactly why this site is so great! I will definitely reach out if I have questions, as I know I will have plenty. Well wishes to you and your future endeavors!

@Aaron Vaughn thanks! Already finding great info on the various pages.

@Chris T. Thank you so much for the well wishes!

Hello everyone!

I’m Charniece and I’m ready to get this Real Estate experience started.

Here are the basics:

-Chicago native currently living in Naperville

-Currently employed as a night shift supervisor for a pharmaceutical company but ready to grow into a new opportunity and learn some new and valuable skills

-Took my first leap recently by working to attain my real estate license (feeling positive about passing the exam).

-Looking to get myself one step closer to closing on my first real estate deal in the (very) near future. Currently leaning toward doing some buy and hold deals but I’m open to continuing to learn the pros and cons of the other methods.

-Also looking to do some major research in investing in some Chicago neighborhoods that are considered “risky “ (Englewood, Austin, etc.) but have seen some major improvements in the past few years.

-Open to connecting with anyone open to sharing their wisdom and knowledge while challenging me to test my skills and knowledge in return.

I believe this is enough for an introduction.

Looking forward to continuing on in this journey with you all.
