Hello BiggerPockets!

I'm Mike Thornton, and I live in Wheaton, IL, just west of Chicago. Previously, my Real Estate exposure was as a licensed Realtor in Illinois and Michigan. Most recently, I've been very, very interested in investing. I work full time outside the industry, but am excited to network with other real estate investors on BiggerPockets. Hoping to transition from information gathering (2+ years researching my market) to action. 

Thanks for having me.
