Hey everyone!

Brand new to BP but have considered REI for 15 years or so and am just now in a place where it's realistic. I have a number of interests and will likely purse a combination of both rehab/flips and BRRRs, with a goal of long term cashflow financed by the flips. I live in the western suburbs of Chicago and home prices and taxes make make the BRRR strategy unlikely in my backyard, though it is possible in some pockets of the city proper. That said, I'm working through the David Greene's long distance investing book now and considering markets that might make sense for me.

Anyway, just wanted to check in and say hello. I’m really impressed by BP—everyone is super helpful and supportive!  I'm a bit addicted to the podcasts--have listened to about 50 of them over the past 3 weeks!

All the best to everyone,

Joel
