Greetings from Northeastern Illinois

[Bob Rombach]

Hey everyone!

I'm so excited to meet and learn from you! If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.

I live in Volo, Illinois which is in Lake County. I'm previously from McHenry, Illinois and Before that Grantsburg, WI (which is in the NW part of the state in Burnett County).

I owned a small construction company in 2006, but when the bubble burst, we did, too. 

I've always had a passion for real estate investing but never really knew how to get started. I discovered BP and the BP podcast and am finally ready to get things going. 

 My goal is to buy my first property in the next 3-6 months and flip it. I'm also trying to learn how to find investors as we don't have a lot of money of our own. 

I also realize that networking is one of the most important aspects for long-term success in any business, really, but especially this industry. I look forward to meeting you!

A few years back, I remember attending a group in McHenry. I didn't like it much. It was held in a VFW hall, and the woman that ran it, would sit in the back and smoke during the meeting. I understand it no longer meets.

Even though you are in Northern Illinois, getting out to clubs and groups in the Chicago area, will help you navigate the waters as to how to find deals, how to  find investors, and to just grow your confidence in yourself and your ability to do this.

I have visited many REI clubs locally, and if you contact me privately I can share my thoughts with you.
