New Member Here - Chicago
Hi everybody!
My name is Wanda, I'm a brand new real estate investor and live in Chicago. In fact, I am so new that I have yet to complete my first deal! (gasp!) ;)
I have always had a desire to get involved in Real Estate. I am currently a full-time student that has decided not to return to the "workforce" this summer and take full advantage of this opportunity. I will be diving head first into my new business and see where it takes me. It's all so exciting, I'm tying to keep all the information I continue to acquire from becoming sensory overload. I'm like a sponge right now.
I welcome any and all advise. Also if you are in the Chicago area and have a minute to spare, I am looking for a mentor or two I can bounce ideas around with.
Look forward to getting to some of you!
