Hello BP community! I'm Matthew Thompson and I am an aspiring real estate entrepreneur from Chicago. I'm in the middle of a move to Madison, Wisconsin but I'm interested in doing work in both areas. I found BiggerPockets while searching to see if there was a site like this. Looks like my hunch was right! My main interests are in flipping houses, buy and hold and commercial rental properties. I would like to start out with flipping houses though. I've read quite a bit but I'm ready to start taking action. Any advice, tips or connections are welcome. Thanks guys, I'm glad to be here.
