Hi! New investor looking to network

[Edward Pang]

Hi, my first post was removed but I've been living in Chicago for 4 years now (currently in Bridgeport) and I'm interested in my first Real Estate investment. Mostly interested in Multifamilies for a house hack or rental property. I've also read about some potential to renting in the "mobility areas" for Section 8 and was wondering if anyone knew much about the "East Side" area by the Calumet River or Archer Heights. I've tried looking for house hacks in Bridgeport, but they just seem to be too expensive. 

Looking forward to connect with you all!
