Member Intro from Chicago

[Rick Thompson]

Hello Bigger Pockets people! I am a developer/real estate investor that operates predominately in the Chicago Suburbs. My partners and I are currently focusing on fix and flips, new construction spec homes, and custom built homes for clients.

I have been listening to the BP podcasts for a couple months and finally got around to digging through the website and forums. It seems like there’s some solid content here and I figured I’d make my long overdue introduction to the community. Like I put in my profile, I’m always looking to expand my network and meet fellow realtors, investors, and lenders.

I’m looking forward to the many networking opportunities this site has to offer as well as learning from other members. I’m always more than happy to share any knowledge I’ve accumulated throughout my career as well.

Rick, 

Welcome to bigger pockets.  I grew up on the northwest side (Edison Park) of Chicago.  How is the new home business doing back there?
