New Investor from Chicago

[Tyler Winters]

Hi everyone! My name is Tyler and I'm new to the real estate game.  My background is primarily in banking, and through this, I've found that the people that have managed to generate significant wealth tend to do so through real estate.  I enjoy my job, so I'm looking to invest on the side, hopefully getting to a point where I can cover monthly expenses.  I would like to focus in the Chicago area, as I wouldn't feel comfortable going out-of-territory first thing.  I've already read through a couple of the books from BiggerPockets, and have been using my commutes to listen to podcasts. I'm excited to start and look forward to meeting other investors!

@Tyler Winters Hi Tyler and welcome to BP!  There are certainly lots of good investment opportunities in the Chicago area.  Be sure to include in your search the Indiana side of Chicagoland where you will find lower taxes and a more landlord friendly environment, as well as some great cash flow possibilities.
