Newb from Chicago's Logan Square Neighborhood

[Matthew McFarling]

Hello All, I'm new to the bigger pockets forum community although I've given the podcasts a lot of play over the past year.  I've done a fair amount of research on real estate investing strategies and cash flowing multi families are where I'd like to begin my journey.

I am a road warrior of a Software Consultant by day and have a pretty active social life thereafter.  I've been with Big 4 firms the past 8 years spending ~50% of my time away from home most months of the year.  I'd love to hear how others with similar situations manage their real estate.

I am also in need of a real estate agent, attorney, and accountant that will help me plan and reach my financial freedom goal.  I'd like to secure my first deal ASAP and look forward to hearing your responses.
