Hello all, 

     I'm new to the forum and live in Illinois.  I'm currently reading some blog posts, articles and some of the tutorials.  I am looking to get into buying rental properties, ideally starting next spring.  I'm going to spend some time working on learning up until that point. 

     I have experience working in the construction industry for several years, I moved from there into technology, to IT networking and system administration, cybersecurity to working on Industrial Control Systems.  My reasons for pursuing real estate investing are just to balance out my retirement options, essentially supplementing my income with rental agreements.  

     I currently own a house, which happens to be my second house.  I'm likely going to sell in the spring and use the equity to purchase hopefully a couple of properties, staying in my camper for 6 months and saving for another one.  I am uncertain if I'm going to carry on in that manner or look to obtain another home to live in before winter, which could be a duplex with the intent to again move out of in the spring to rent out.  

     Anyhow, I'm mainly looking to learn, read a lot, probably ask some questions, and dive in.  

Thanks, 

Steve
