Hello Everyone,

It had always been a dream of mine to be a Real Estate Investor/Developer, but somewhere along the line life just got in the way and it never came to fruition.

I do have a fairly decent knowledge base to start building upon though.

I received an Associates degree in Construction Technology and a Bachelors degree in Construction Management from Southern Illinois University back in 2001. Also while attending college I got an Illinois realtors license because they offered the class to us at a discounted price because of the program I was in, but I soon let it expire because I never went to work for a broker or anything.

So, I graduated with a lot of debt and went to work for a few commercial general contractors in Chicago for about 5 years as a project engineer/manager, moved around the Midwest several times, then decided to move back to my home town a few years ago and went to work in the public works department as a superintendent in the Water/Sewer department.

And here I am today.

At age 39, I'm finally in a place in my life both financially and personally where I can start to make my dream come true....I hope

Joining this community is just one more step I'm taking to try ensure that this new journey will be a successful one.

Sincerely,

Matt Perrine
