Hello BP Community!

I'm new to REI but definitely not the thought of it. It has been something I have been wanting to get into for a while now but the time just hasn't been right. I can assure you that the time is definitely right now and that is why I managed to maneuver my way into the BP community. I'm interested in flipping but I'm also interested in learning about all of the possible ways to invest in real estate! At this point, I hope to continue reading blogs, books and forums as well as hearing podcast. Ultimately, I want to utilize the resources given to me by Bigger Pockets as well as members of the community. I really just want to learn and know what I'm doing before making my first investment! Knowledge is power right?

To get a little personal, I'm from Chicago, Il, born and raised. I currently reside in Joliet, Il.; A southern suburb about an hour out from the city. I'm a stay-at-home mom to my two beautiful children and have been definitely utilizing my time at home to gain a better understanding of REI. (Well, when I have free-time anyway!) I'm also a part-time college student majoring in Business and minoring in Marketing. Nonetheless, I look forward to networking and meeting new people here on BP!
