Chicagoland 1st Time Homeowner & Investor Eager To Learn
Hello All! I have been a fan of the podcast for about 4-5 months and very interested in getting into real estate investing. I am from the NW suburbs of Chicago, IL and it took me getting my degree, and MBA to realize I want out of corporate America, and want to build true wealth with real estate. I am likely going to buy my first home/ primary residence in the spring/summer of 2015 and hope to learn a lot to make that best possible situation, as well as many more investment properties! I am reading all I can and here to learn from you all! Hopefully I can help in some way you all as well!
