Introducing Myself to the Bigger Pockets Community

[Kyle B.]

Hello everyone. My name is Kyle and I live in Chicago. I currently work in the finance industry, but for a number of reasons have become very interested in real estate investing. I would love to connect with anyone also located in the Chicago area looking to expand their network. I don't have any experience so far, but am anxious to learn as much as I can about investing, and in particular wholesaling, which is how I would like to start out. I have a lot of questions, but there is one specific quesiton I will start out by asking below:

- How do you obtain marketing lists (such as probate, absentee owners) for potentially motivated sellers? I've read this is a good marketing strategy to use, but do not know how to purchase these.

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to connecting with everyone.

Kyle
