Greetings,

I'm a new to Bigger Pockets, thanks for reading my post. I'm located in the far northwestern suburbs of Chicago. I've held rentals in the past but when the market turned in 2008, lost those properties as hadn't bought them low enough weather the financial storm.

Fast forward to today, I'm excited to study and read all the available information on Bigger Pockets.

I'm starting in my own area for my investing. I'm also looking to connect with local investors for networking and brainstorming.

Take care,

David

Hi David, welcome back! I lived in CL for over 10 years, still have a daughter there. It's a great city. I'm happy to grab coffee next time I'm out that way (typically Friday and Sunday).
