[Ken Leibundguth]

Hello BP Community,

My name is Ken Leibundguth. I am living in the western suburbs of Illinois with my wife, dog, and have a baby on the way (T-minus 3 months). I do not have much Real Estate experience outside of my current job as a Mortgage Closer. I have a strong background in preparing closing documents and closing figures, but that is where my knowledge ends. I have been considering REI for a little while now, but have not been comfortable financially to make the jump. That leads me to why I joined BiggerPockets. I am a dreamer and have grand goals of becoming successful in real estate investing, however, I am also big on being fully prepared before jumping into anything life changing. I am excited to continue my learning and hope to build a strong network of support.

Thank you,

Ken L

@Ken Leibundguth  Great to have you in the community!  I'm in Palatine, but I have partners and clients in Aurora.  If you ever want to meet halfway, like the Elgin riverboat, let me know.  This is a very cool community because no one really ever has to compete with anyone.  We can all just partner up on bigger and bigger deals, and so everyone makes more money.  You can buy turnkey properties with tenants and management already in place.  It can be a safe transitional investment, just to begin to build a portfolio. Fee free to message me if you have any questions about anything. You don't have to know everything or have every part of the deal figured out to still get into great deals.  You just partner with honest people.
