Newbie in Chicago, IL

[Edgar Barbosa]

Hello BP Community, 

First and foremost, Happy New Year to everyone. My name is Edgar Barbosa. I'm originally from Mexico. Been in Chicago for the last 26 years. I'm 31 years old. Currently working for the City of Chicago for the rail maintenance division. I am looking to begin my real estate investment journey within the next 3 months. I am a Marine Corps veteran and intend to utilize my VA Loan to obtain a multi unit as my first property. I will be going with a joint VA Loan with a fellow veteran so we intend on combining our entitlement and searching for 6 unit buildings. Really excited for what the future holds. I love to learn so any and all input/suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
