New to the Chicago Market

Hey there, Bp pockets community,

Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself real quick!, I jumped into this business 2years ago after reading some books. i finally took some action and started off in the st louis market first. Ive been looking at bp for about 3 yrs, but just finally decided to sign up! This site has alot of information and i cant wait to get involved in seeing how i could provide value to others.

Well i thought i would duplicate the same system in the chicago market, as i set up in the st louis market. Basically after reading some books, i found one approach fairly simple to do so i tried it out, that was finding buyers and going shopping for them..lol

Well to make a long story short is that i needed to find other investors that had access to deals directly, because when i was dealing with so called wholesalers that had properties..they were involved in what i hear now as being a daisy chain.

So in order to make this work in chicago, i know i will have to get out there and network at some local events..Hopefully becoming a major contributor on here, i can connect with some great people in any given market that have some integrity..So excited to be here!!!
