Newbie from Joliet, Il

What's up, BP?

New guy here from the Chicagoland area ready to take the plunge into real estate investing. I have no experience with real estate so here I am, ready to absorb everything I can in order to embark on a successful real estate investment career. While I have no direct real estate experience I do come with certain other qualities. A strong work ethic in general and a realistic outlook and expectations. I don't expect to get rich quick. In fact I asked myself, ' If I had a choice between a quick yet unreliable system to generate wealth or a system to generate wealth slowly that is virtually guaranteed, which would I choose?'. Well, in this case I'd rather be the tortoise than the hare. Also, I'm old enough to stay focused while still being young enough to accept some potential risk.

I'm very excited to start this journey, ( currently in the process of purchasing my first property), and also to become part of the Bigger Pockets family.

Welcome!  Fellow Joliet investor and local Real Estate Agent.  The rental market is hot right now.  If you see something, do not drag your feet making an offer.  They are getting picked up as fast as they are listed.  Good Luck!
