Hey everyone Im Alex!
I have been browsing around on this site for a few days now and I can see how this will be one of the better ways I spend my time. I'm amazed with the amount of knowledge and insight that flows through the forums here, and I'm extremely excited to begin engaging with everyone involved.
A bit about myself:
I'm a recent college graduate and have been working at my first "real" full time job for about 3 months now in the suburbs of Chicago. In doing so, I've realized as many others do; that I do not want to be a part of the corporate 9-5 world for my entire working life. Therefore I have established one of my goals as becoming financially independent through real estate.
Right now Im thinking that I am best suited for flipping in terms of investment strategy. Ive worked in the HVAC and Construction industry for a few years and have actually completed work on many flips in the past, so I feel this experience may give me a leg up in getting started.
Anyway, right now I am focusing my efforts over the next few months on expanding my knowledge in real estate and educating myself as much as possible before closing my first deal.
I welcome anyone in the area who is willing to share some knowledge to connect and chat!
