New Chicago Investor Introduction

[Joseph Gross]

Hello all, my name is Joey Gross and I am new to the BiggerPockets network. I have read & listened to many materials on this website but this is my first time posting.

I am currently working in Chicago as a business analyst supporting the oil & gas industry. I am new to real estate investing & am looking to generate an additional stream of income to supplement my full-time career in Chicago. My goal is to purchase my first rental property in the next year - I am interested in duplexes & triplexes in the Chicago area for buying-and-holding long-term.

I am also interested in connecting with anyone who has experience using an FHA loan on an investment property, as I am exploring this route. I am open to any tips & guidance from experienced investors.

Thanks in advance,

Joey Gross

@Joseph Gross - If you are looking at low money down programs, I highly recommend the 5% program VS FHA
