ah... @Account Closed ...What have I learned? Read people's bylines! Thanks, I'll check it out!

@John Weidner ...I'm from Des Plaines and spend a ton of time in the city! AND...a snowmobile is one of my first purchases after I complete a few transactions. @Account Closed ...yeah, Lake Geneva is a beautiful town and I loved being a realtor there. @J. Martin ...thank you for the advice!

Thanks for the welcome! Hope to connect and learn from you all!

@John Weidner and @Account Closed ...Do you recommend any local networking groups? (In my book, Chicago down thru Naperville up to Milwaukee is local)

It is lofty, but in my profession, that actually gives me approximately 18 mos. my expenses are relatively low, so I don't need to replace my entire salary right away. My son is severely disabled and I need to be in a position to care for him, so I have high motivation. I hope to close two tax delinquent property deals in 6 months to put some cash in the bank. In the meantime, I hope to be able to have two wholesale deals per month in 8-10 months. If I have to continue working, I will as I love what I do, but I have to set some strong goals to ensure I'm on track to do what I need for my children. I've met loftier goals in my life....if I invest in myself, I believe I can achieve it in a reasonable amount of time...hope that makes sense.

My name is Christene and I'm new to the investing market. I am in education, but was in real estate for a couple of years. My location is great as I'm right in the middle of several large metropolitan areas: Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison. I'm very interested in learning from others. In education, I had mentors that helped me climb the ranks and I'm well aware of the value of a mentor. So, right now, I'm looking to find a mentor, learn all I can and have a particular interest in wholesaling, tax delinquent properties and mobile home properties (Warren Buffett is brilliant)!).

I'm a single mom of two, so doing things right the first time is uber important to me as I can't afford to lose because of errors.

My goal is to work my full time job for one more full year and then to work real estate investing full time. I have a lot to learn, have a lot of questions, but, I'm hard working, positive and determined....I will reach my goal!!

Thanks and I look forward to connecting!
