New Member Intro - Chicago Suburbs

Hello BP Community! I’m a new member and would like to introduce myself.

I’ve been a landlord for 8 years, although I fell into this role as a result of buying a condo in 2007, losing nearly 60% of the value shortly after, and then moving onto a larger home for my wife and growing family.

I recently sold this property after re-building the equity, and am putting plans together to start acquiring SFH rentals in the western suburbs of Chicago.

I'm looking to build a network of like minded people with diverse backgrounds and specialties in the REI community. Let's connect!

Hey Chris! I am in the western burbs area as well! Just got going on my adventure as well. Learning, saving and seeking my real estate license in the next year while I am teaching full time. 

Let's chat or link up to talk. Would be awesome to hear your experiences and ideas!
