Hi, my name is Maciek. I'm from north Chicago suburb.

Big fan and a new member to BP, hello everyone !!

I have been working in construction industry for past 10 years as a plumber and I like to think i have pretty good knowledge of construction. Plumbing that was never my passion, I  always liked numbers and investing. So after year of reading and saving money I'm ready to move on with my first flip. I have read few real estate investing books and followed real estate  investors from my area. I'm very excited to get started and just made an offer on hope to be my first house.

Fingers crossed the bank agrees to my offer, its an REO

I would me more then happy to meet other BP members from Chicagoland area
