Where to start?

[Albert R.]

Im new to the BiggerPockets platformand im exited to be a member with all the good reports ive heard about it. Im interested in becoming a full time realestate investor in Northwest Indiana and Chicago. Im doing a lot of studying on the subject but just would like to hear from some investors that are actually in the trenches . I want to get my investment business off the ground, setting up my company, websight, etc;. Being a self employed contractor the last 5 years i have a lot of knowledge in the rehabbing field, but the investing side is a whole new world,any suggestions?

You don't need a website, or powerteam, or mentor, or anything else. Go find a cheap distressed house in a C class neighborhood. Fix it up and make it a rental. You have the knowledge for that right now.
