@Andrew Fernando Welcome to BiggerPockets! Sounds like you're learning some basic strategies from the Podcasts. They are a really great learning resource. Check out some of the blog posts as well, and maybe consider picking up a book like - The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller.

See you around the site.

@Ronnie Woolbright Welcome to BP! You're off to a good start with the BiggerPockets Podcast. I'd recommend setting up keyword alerts for the DFW area and connecting with other members from that area.

@Kellie Vilbert Welcome to BiggerPockets. Your investing interests are unique. As for investing in land, you should connect with @Seth Williams. He is an expert in that space.

He has posted a lot of great content here on BP as well as his personal site, REtipster.

You can also check out his podcast here.

@Mathew Allen Welcome to BP and thanks for the background info! It's nice to hear where people have come from and you've done a good job painting a picture of that.

@KP Pawley Welcome to the world of introductions! Sounds like a great plan if you ask me - I'm also a big fan of travel. I'm not familiar with your market up there, but you should get in touch with some local investors up there that know the multi-family space. You could also start running the numbers on listed properties in your area just to get a feel for it and see what the numbers are for your area. 

@J Scott wrote a great blog post outlining the various metrics used to analyze a property. Check it out here.

@Jarrad Henry Thanks for sharing! Welcome to BP and I agree, it's a great place to come and find that little bit of inspiration to go out and do it again tomorrow.

As for your goals, they are certainly common and good ones - however, I must say, your first goal is by far your most important one (only slightly kidding)! =)

@Eric Diemar Welcome to BiggerPockets. You definitely found the right place to expand your network. Setup keyword alerts for Chicago and search the forums for "Chicago roll call" to find people in your area.

@Brandon Turner put together a keyword alerts guide here that I think you'll find very helpful.
