New to Bigger Pockets
Hello everyone, I'm Shar . I have been a BP member for a few months. I have mostly used Bigger Pockets for its educational content. I became serious about REI this past April when decided to get educated and learn as much as possible about becoming a real estate investor. Paid a few bucks and enrolled in a real estate investing education course, but I will tell you, Bigger Pockets has been by far the best resource for my education. In short, started a Real Estate Investing company along with my partner and we are now currently focusing on wholesaling in the Greater Chicago Suburbs; Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will Counties. My plan is to connect with other Real Estate Investors in my Local Market to network, grow my buyers list, share experience and possibly do some deals.
Thank you Bigger Pockets Network for being such an awesome tool providing me with the knowledge to get started.

Welcome to the BP community. You have a clear strategy in that you have educated yourself and now feel confident to take action.
Good luck and best wishes with your REI activities.
REI can be very daunting , however, this site thrives on interactions and as such we
encourage two way exchanges and look forward to educational and thought provoking
ideas relevant to REI.
