New member from Chicago

[Cedric Mitchell]

Hi everyone, My name is Cedric. I am a new member to the BP community. I have read several articles as well as listened to a few podcasts, and I really enjoy reading the feedback that the members of BP offer to the new members and investors. I have been looking into real estate investing for a few years now but have not had the courage and focus to get started however, I have finally decided that the more I wait, the more fear I will have so I've decided that it's either now or never. I have been doing some research on my own as well as working with an agent in search of 3-4 unit owner occupied MFH's in the Chicago area for under $100,000 which I have found to not be such an easy process. Can someone tell me a better way to look for such properties , any advice would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks!
