Hello from Chicago, I just got my Real estate license, now what?

[Charles Wheeler]

I decided to go the route of attaining my license before I started investing. I am looking for some guidance on the route to take while investing. I live in the Chicago land area. I was thinking of acquiring a 3 or 4 flat using the fha 203k or Fannie mea homepath rehab loan.

My credit is 680+, fulltime job 4rs, few thousand in my 401k and a couple in the bank.

I once read that the best way to get started is to do 1 or 2 flips in the beginning, can anyone attest to this? PLEASE HELP
