Thanks for the notes everyone, I'm looking forward to connecting and contributing here. I went to the Chicago Housing Expo yesterday, and got some great info about different available rehab loan programs for owner-occupied property, and some that you can still qualify for first time buyer grants with as well.

@Aaron Vaughn  I actually was looking there a bit first, but didn't end up going that way. Are you working (or living) in the area there? 

@Chris T.  Thanks, I'm working on it. I'm carless, so don't usually make it out of the city too far, but good to know. We'll see... 

@Zach Shuta Thanks! 

@Mark Killion  That sounds great, I will definitely look that up. I'm somewhat familiar with certain areas, but still have lots to learn. 

@Katrice Brooks  Thanks, me too! I can't wait to have the opportunity. 

@Elbert D.  Thanks!

Hi everyone, 

I'm excited to be getting involved with the BP community! I've been listening to podcasts (reading books, etc.) for awhile and feel like I'm ready to really jump in. I'm looking for a 3 or 4 flat to house hack in the Bronzeville area, as a way to get started. After that, I'd like to get into small, multi-family investing.  I've got a fair amount of building knowledge (I currently work in architecture and used to do construction), but am still catching up on the financials side. I'm hoping to learn, network and offer what I can. I recently went to the meetup hosted by @Brie Schmidt and had a great time making connections.
