Welcome @William M. . Congratulations on getting started so early in life. If you're just getting familiar with real estate investing, my suggestion is to listen to some BP podcasts before you commit to a strategy. Also, if you set up keyword alert for "Chicago" then you can quickly start meeting people in the area, which will be one of your best resources over the long term. Good luck and welcome again!

John
