Newbie from Chicago, IL

[Daniel J.]

Hi all,

I am a recent grad from the University of Illinois - Urbana/Champaign, where I received a Master of Architecture and Master of Civil Engineering - Project Management. I am newly employed as a Project Manager for a high-end builder/developer in Chicago. Now that I am finally receiving an income (after 6 years of school), I am looking forward to investing in real estate.

As a newbie, I would like to know where I can utilize my skill set most effectively? I do have an OK foundation in real estate investments and economics which I gained from my time in school. I anticipate learning a lot from BiggerPockets as I continute to do my research. Any suggestions/comments are appreciated.

Thanks for you time,

Dan
