@John Yanko Welcome to BP!  It sounds like you're in the perfect position to pick up a multi-family property as owner-occupied.  That way you have a place of your own, but you rent out the rest of the units to cover the mortgage payment, insurance, etc.  The only catch to that might be finding anything with the 3 car garage you were hoping for.

Either way, BP is a great source of information.

@David Harvey Welcome to BP.  There is a ton of information available on this site.

@Chris Bork Welcome to BP.  There is a wealth of information, knowledge, and people to share it on here.  As @Rafael Velasco mentioned there are a few meetings coming up.

@Brie Schmidt can get you on the mailing list for the Chicago Meetup on 3/17.

CAREIA is on meetup.com (http://www.meetup.com/CAREIA/).  They have a networking night on 3/23.

Brie Schmidt I won't be able to make this months meeting either. I rarely travel for my day job, but I'll be out of town most of the next two weeks.
