New to the biz coming to the Chicago land area!

[Robert Obniski]

Hello All,

My name is Robert Obniski, 23 years of age, currently residing in Wisconsin Dells, WI

A bit more about myself...

I was born in Chicago, IL to polish immigrant parents.When I was about 10 years old we moved to a major Midwest tourist town; Wisconsin Dells. My parents purchased a 73 room mom n pop motel which was family operated. It's what I give credit for all my skills to, Including office work, dealing with people, handy man-ness, etc. Jack of all trades type of work. 

In fall 2010, my brother and I (with help from the parents) purchased our own hotel (which was in pre-forclosure) and operated it by ourselves for 3 years. (Hell of a wake up call to the real world for a 19 year old) I say for 3 years because In fall 2013 we sold the hotel, along with my parents motel to a local buyer.

Which brings me here. 

My profit from the sale put a good amount of money in my pocket and gave me a great starting base. Since the sale I have only done one type of investment and that was I bought a condo here locally, renovated it myself, and currently renting it out. Cant live off that though..
However, it gave me the idea of real estate investing. Which is why I plan to move down to the greater Chicago land area (Downers Grove is where I am starting) and start my new chapter! 

Happy I found this website and im sure I will be using it a lot in the near future!

Any questions comments or concerns...I'm here!


(sorry for the length...I like details)
