Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Craig,
It seems that these events are typically held on Wednesdays, If thats the case its very difficult for me to attend these groups as I work night shift, which works starts right at 6pm for me. Hopefully in the future there will be an event that I can finally attend.

That would interest me, I think it would be a good time and a great chance to meet some of you guys. Please let me know about that, I'm eager to meet all of you.

Good afternoon all, I am late to this forum but hopefully this means it will help keep it alive. Will there be any upcoming events or meet ups with local like minded people/ investors?
I would love to meet others in my area and hopefully strike up good conversations and friendships.

Welcome to BP Justin!
I am also new to this website and to the investing world in Rockford, IL. I wish you great success and hope you get what you're looking for on this website.

@Kyle N. Thank you for invitation! I sadly have to work tonight and will have to miss this meetup. Are there any more of these coming up in the future? If so, how regularly do you guys get together?

Hello BP, my name is Tyler Witkowski and I'm 25 and brand new to the investing world. I am from Rockford IL, and don't have much to any experience in real estate but it has always been a dream. I'm looking to set my life free from the burden of the typical 9-5 job, but in my case it's 6pm-4:30am grave yard job. The reason I'm interested now more then ever is because I have a 2 year old son and I want to give him the whole world and my time and I see this as a career that can give me exactly that. 

I'm looking to invest in rental, flip, buy and hold and possibly wholesale. Im not exactly sure what I want my "niche" to be yet so I'm in the learning phase. My only experience with real estate is from helping my father years ago with odd jobs at his rental property's for section 8 in Chicago, back when I lived there. Also I did roof contracting for about a year and a half. So I know how dedicated I must be to become successful in this career path.

I've learned about this forum from the podcast and have been listening to it ever since I found out, about a month ago. I've been binge listening to it while at work for 40 hours a week. I must say, it is such a great source of knowledge and thank you guys for this infinate knowledge you provide all of us.

I plan on buying a property within a year from now to either A, have as a rental property. Or B, flip. Those are my two main interests when it comes down to it, but with little money that I can invest I'm not sure those are intiarly the best options. Unless I find an investor of course.

So here I am, and ready to learn and see where this life will take me.
