Hi BP members!
I'm extremely excited to be here. I've been snooping around the BP site for a few weeks and finally decided to sign up. Here's a bit about myself. I'm a young working professional from the NW Chicago area. I've been an entrepreneur since the age of 18 when I started my first auto parts company. Since then I've started, operated and managed 6 different businesses.
Over the last 2 years I've re-ignited my long time passion for real estate and am now in a position to do something about it. I look forward to talking to the community here at BP and would love to get insight, tips & tricks, and perhaps even some mentoring from experienced real estate investors.
