Young, ambitous Chicagoan. And a total Newbie

Hello Bigger Pockets!!

My name is Mark Rustin, and I am an architecture professional living in Chicago, IL. I work downtown and am in the process of completing my Architect's license. I have a burning desire to run screaming from the corporate world, and a daily growing passion for investing in my own future and self worth.

I want to focus on the buy-and-hold strategy in multifamily homes to gain simultaneous skills in management, business, and construction. My goal is 10 units and a strong network before moving into flipping properties. I have been making huge strides to change how I budget and save money, and have immersed myself in absorbing any knowledge I can about real estate investing.

With that I have to admit that my questions greatly outweigh my solutions right now. I'm seeking out networking and ready to get my feet wet!

Please say hello!

Welcome.  I'I'd be interested to see how your architecture background plays into this if it all.  All the best!
