New member introduction...
Hi folks. I started studying real estate investing probably 20+ years ago and just never had the courage to try any of it. I'm 53 now and decided it's about time to get serious about setting myself up financially for my older years (you know, when I get there!). That being said I've been reading through the BP blogs and articles. Glad I found BP, too, because I was just about to drop $1k on a mentor program program with Phil P---ski... I know I want to focus, eventually, on rentals but an going to start by getting my real estate brokers license here in Illinois to start getting some experience and make contacts. Ordered my course material and already dove into it.

Hi David. I'm from way downstate (think Effingham). As for being a real estate broker I'll stay in Champaign and south because it's easy driving distance but I'm interested in almost anywhere for the investing if the numbers are right. I actually plan on getting my brokers license in a couple of more States but starting in Illinois as that's where I'm from.
