First time investment

[Anthony Taslimi]

Hello,

I am new in this forum and I found some of the postings here very helpful. So I decided to create a new post to ask few questions I had.

To be honest Real estate has been my passion since I was 24 years old (I am 29 now). I've taken few mentorship courses which have helped me understand the way real estate work. But I do understand that there isn't anything better than actually getting involved and making my first investment to learn about real estate.

To tell you a bit about myself, I am a Canadian citizen and I am planning to move to chicago IL promptly. when it comes to real estate I do not have any experience but I've been buying and selling all sorts of cars for over 10 years. Since I was 18 years old. So I do have quite a bit of background when it comes to negotiations and building relationships. I've also been involved in ecommerce and have few online stores. I know it's a totally different business model but I wasn't going to sit around and do nothing, just because I had bad credit, and prices were sky high here in Vancouver Canada.

So I am wondering given my circumstances right now. What would be the best way to get into a property? I am willing to do anything to get started. I have about 7-10K US dollars. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Thank you,

Anthony.
