New Member, New Investor | Wholesaler

[Chris Pontello]

My name is Chris and I am new in the game around the Mid-West. Specifically IL (where I live) through to Detroit, MI (where my family lives)

I am new into real estate investing, and new as in I have been studying everything possible the last 6 months, just have't executed yet.

Currently working full time as a Marketing Analyst in Downtown Chicago and studying R.E. on the side. My goal is to quit my J.O.B. once I get my real estate business consistently profitable.

I have been dealing with these various "guru's" on which way is the best to finally get started.. I know the knowledge I would gain from them is enormous and would be much faster than going after it on my own. The dilemma is spend the money on a guru, or put it into setting up my systems , and get out a large direct mailing over a couple months as well as other various marketing techniques...??

I'm looking to really get involved in BP and be active often. If anyone has suggestions, tips, advice I am very open and would be very grateful to hear about it! Also, would love to connect with some people and try to get some deals done! My area is priming up to be a killing in the very near future!!

Thank you to everyone on here and I look forward to hearing from you and connecting! :]

-Chris
