Hello and thank you in advance for your comments!  I am a beginning real estate investor from the Chicagoland area.  I am from the South side of Chicago and I now reside in the suburbs of Chicago.  I am not new to investing in general but I am new to real estate investing.  I currently own my primary residence and three home lots in various Illinois locations.  I have a been investing in paper assets as well as tangibles other than real estate for many years and I have been very successful at that.  I work in the industrial construction industry.  I am currently looking at investing in the South suburbs of Chicago and Northwest Indiana.
