Newbie and soon to be college grad, Chicago

[Brian Griffith]

I am a rising senior accounting major at the University of Notre Dame. I came across BP a few years ago when looking for some podcasts to listen too. Since then I have enjoyed listening to the BP Real Estate Podcast and has really sparked my interest in rental properties. Like many others here, the idea of someone else paying down the mortgage and therefore gaining equity myself while being able to cashflow a little bit excited me. Needless to say I was hooked...

This is my first time posting since the past 3 years I have been in the learning phase of my Real estate journey and as a student wouldn't have the opportunity to buy until I had a job and made some money. SO fast forward to today and I am roughly 2 years out from joining the work force and being able to really take action. I have focused my attention on the Chicago area since this is where I desire to start my career. Right now I am looking to learn more about the real estate market in the Chicago area, specifically advice on house hacking strategies in the area out of college.

Im glad to be apart of this community and I hope to talk to some of you soon!
