Newb buy and holder from Carol Stream, IL

[Brian Coons]

Hey everyone, this is Brian from Carol Stream, IL.

I'm a software developer with no background in RE besides my primary residence.  I'd like to buy and hold locally, single family or small 2-4 unit properties, but if the numbers aren't good locally, maybe somewhere else with good ratios.  That'll be a different post.

I like my day job so I'm looking for passive-ish opportunities and I'd like to start pretty small so I can make my mistakes small.

My profile pic is a disc golf basket because I love disc golf and my home course is Sunrise Park in Bartlett, so if anyone is around and wants to play when the weather is better, let me know.

I saw there was a meeting in Algonquin this week, and was almost going to go, but then realized last minute there was an RSVP and it listed 0 spots left so I figured I should wait until next time.

Glad to be here with you all.

Brian
