Married couple in Central Illinois aiming for 4 plex in a year

[Brian Engstrom]

Hello everybody - I am a carpenter and my wife Molly and I are just starting out, trying to learn as much as possible before we find and buy a 4-plex with an FHA next fall. We are in our late 20's have a 3 month old daughter who keeps us motivated to create more family time and money.

We are planning to buy a 4plex around Bloomington or Champaign, Illinois, so we're learning and saving as much as possible in the mean time. (Podcasts and audiobooks everyday, 10% of income saved as in The Richest Man in Babylon.) We also have some credit repair to do. 

Anyway thanks for checking out our post and we're excited to start connecting with people here on the forums!
