Newbie from Prospect Hts IL (Suburb of Chicago)

[Paul Litardo]

Hi, BiggerPockets land! I'm super excited about joining this family.  I'm Paul from Prospect Hts IL, a super small suburb of Chicago.  I'm a partner and general manager of a marketing print company. We specialize in direct mail, signage, POP, and digital marketing (SEO, social media, email marketing, google analytics).  I've always had my eye in the real estate investment industry but truly never knew how to start.  While looking for a new Podcast during a family road trip, I stumbled upon the BiggerPockets Podcast.  My 5-hour drive went by in a flash, thanks to the Podcast, and I was hooked and knew I wanted to learn more.  I plan to do a lot of reading and learning before taking the leap into investing and look forward to using my digital marketing skills to help grow my new business.

Hey Paul, I went to BG high school right down the street from you.  I do not invest or live the area anymore though.  The podcasts are great, but I prefer the books.  They have a more direct, concise, and high yield information.
