Hello,

My name is Brian Backus.  I have been a member on BiggerPockets for just over a year.  I have been extremely inactive in looking for and evaluating deals.  

I just turned 28 and I have been evaluating the last year of my life and the goals I achieved.  Currently, I am kicking myself for an inactive year of real estate investing and wasting a year of finding potential deals.  

Moving forward I intend to take the following steps:

  • Become a PRO member 
  • Find a RE agent that can get me on an MLS for multifamily units
  • Begin evaluating deals and sharing the numbers I find to ensure I'm heading down the right path.

I look forward to connecting with many of the members on BiggerPockets!

    @Brian Backus There we go good to hear you are setting some goals and starting your real estate journey. Chicago is a hot market right now a lot of emerging neighborhoods. Great to connect with another person in the area. If you ever need anything or if I can help in anyway please let me know.
