New to Bigger Pockets - Looking to Make 1st investment

[Jacob Nevarez]

Hello, 

Nice to meet everyone! I am a new listener to the channel and looking to make my first investment. After years of saving, I finally have enough for a nice downpayment on a multi-unit or SFH. I'm looking to get pre-approved sometime next week or potentially by the end of the week. I'm excited to start this real estate journey, which is entirely new to me. Everyone I have met in my profession and/or family are either renters or SFH homeowners, so my only guidance on investing has been from the podcast and YouTube, LOL! Always open to connecting with experts, especially in Chicago, or even people starting their journey.
