Greetings from Chicago

[Matthew Kinsella]

Hello biggerpockets family! Im 24 and I work in Schaumburg Illinois, a northwest suburb about 30 miles out from Chicago. At the beginning of this past summer in 2013, I was promoted to a sales job from porter at the car dealership I work at. I live at home with my parents, and aside from the employee lease I am taking on in December, my expenses are extremely low, but my revenue has grown exponentially. I am a newcomer to multifamily / duplex home investing, as well as real estate investing in general, but I am extremely motivated to get a headstart. Any tips, as well as connections shared in the Chicagoland area, would be greatly appreciated.
