Indiana Newb Interested in Rentals
Hi!
I'm currently in Champaign, and most likely will do my investing around Indianapolis. I was born and raised in Lafayette, Indiana. The plan is to save money living with my husband's parents here in Illinois and then next year get a small multifamily near Indy, live in one unit, and rent out the other(s). A local investor here in Champaign-Urbana recommended Bigger Pockets to me and I am so glad he did.
I'm interested in real estate investment because I work extremely hard, and at one point realized I should do that for myself, and not for someone else, barely scraping by. I've never been able to find employment where I felt fulfilled. My reason for pursuing real estate investment is probably not unlike yours - I want financial freedom so I can enjoy life, especially my family.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets! I'm in central IL as well. You may want to check the events tab on Bigger Pockets. I believe Indianapolis has events there frequently, though I have not been to those personally. It would be a good place to start networking.
