New Member Introduction

[Dimitar Popov]

Hello Bigger Pockets members, I am new to real estate and real estate investing and I am really excited and looking forward to learning from and contributing to the Bigger Pockets community. I am in the process of searching for my first investment property in McHenry county, IL and any advice for the newbies like me is much appreciated.

Welcome Dimitar! I'm your neighbor out in Huntley. I'm new to this as well been studying since August. I decided to get my RE license to be able to wholesale and do some other activities in Real Estate. I know there are some Renatus meetups in the area which is paid education. I also go to a great meetup in Rockford once a month run by a buddy of mine. If you think you can handle c and d properties ie low income there's alot of money to be made out there. It's a bit tougher out by us and heading east is doesn't get much easier outside of some older neighborhoods like Elgin, Woodstock etc. Not that it can't be done I know some very successful investors in dupage county but they are doing more like b properties. Margins are a bit thinner but more equity so it really depends on your strategy. Look me up on FB if you want to connect!

Cheers,

Patrick
