I need direction

Travis G.

Hi! 

My name is Travis. I am currently a leasing agent in Chicago and I am new to bigger pockets. 

My sister introduced me to this site to gain info. So I am basically looking for someone who can educate me on being a real estate investor so I can help my sister. She has been at it for over 2 years and still no action.... 

So if someone wants to help me out so I can help her out it would be great! I am a natural born hustler and definitely willing to learn while I work hard. I'm just tired of her talking to me about "investing" "Wholesaling" "OPM" Etc with no real action plan. I'm sure someone local or non local is willing to help us out.

Any takers?

If your sister has not received help from this site why did she recommend it to you?

There is enough information on this site for anyone to learn how to be an investor.  The problem is that your sister is afraid to go ahead.  She is afraid that she won't be successful.

If I were a newbie looking at this site I would look at all the people 

 who have been successful in all parts of the country I would think that there was a good chance of my being successful.

Has she made offers?  Where is she stuck?

Good Luck.

Bill
