Good luck Remon Rasho! I'm actually located out in the western suburbs of Chicago, Glen Ellyn to be exact, and just starting out myself. I look forward to following your progress on BP and as you learn of any good REI groups in the area or other good tips I'd love to compare notes!

Thanks Kevin Kachin! That's great to hear from local investors. As I mentioned in my original post I'm still in a learning stage. Do you attend in local REI groups that you would recommend?

Welcome and good luck! I'd also recommend the podcasts for commutes and long drives

Welcome! I'm actually new to BP and live in DuPage also (Glen Ellyn now and building a home in Wheaton). I'm just starting to look into RE investing, have you found any good REI groups locally that you attend? I've been trying to find interesting groups to join. Thanks and good luck!

Hello everyone! I've been interested in RE investing for a long time but haven't had the opportunity to take the plunge. BP was recommended to me from another online forum and I'm here to try to absorb as much information as possible. I hope to have my first purchase in the next 12 months with either a single family or 2-4 unit building.

Thanks everyone!
