New member from Chicago - interested in vacation rentals

[Timothy Swindle]

Hi, I'm an entrepreneur from Chicago and am interested in real estate investing. I've been listening to the podcast for a few months and decided it's time to "take the plunge". Outside of owning my own home, I've never invested in real estate.

I spend a lot of time in New Buffalo, MI (about 1.25 hours from Chicago) and am bullish on the area over the next 20 years.  I'm looking to build a portfolio of vacation rentals and am open to any/all feedback.  

Thanks,

Tim
