New Investor in Chicago
Hello everyone,
I am a newbie to real estate investing. I’ve been reading books and listening to podcasts about real estate investing the past few months. I want to get started early as an active member and begin to network with others in this community.
A little bit about myself:
I’m a graduating senior and I’ll be starting my career in software development in Chicago this summer. I’ve grown up in the greater Chicagoland area (Northwest suburbs, near O’Hare) and have lived on the north side of the city the past year. After a friend’s enthusiastic recommendation, I decided to read Rich Dad Poor Dad which made me really excited about real estate as an investment. Since then, I have been using a variety of different resources to get to know the subject better which brought me to the BP community.
I plan on saving a significant portion of my income to use for my first deal in Summer 2021. I’m interested in multifamily residences, specifically a House Hack to get started and take advantage of the low down payment. Until then, I plan to learn as much as I can about real estate investing and get to know the markets that I’m specifically interested in. My ultimate goal is to achieve financial freedom with a diversified portfolio of properties in different areas.
Feel free to reach out and connect with me! I look forward to it.
