Wow thank you @Wendell De Guzman !! Those are really useful info and resources. And also, I'm an industrial designer which is more fine arts based.... drawing and making prototypes by hand so not so much engineering (I do get that a lot though) so not exactly the same but I do relate with you in the risk averse area ;) Thank you so much for your help. 

Btw, my parents live in Lombard which is right next to Downers Grove!  :) 

Thank you @Brandon Turner for the information. I have already started the beginners guide and I'm also reading the 4 Hour Workweek to get into the right mindset. I will look into the How to Buy a Small Multifamily Property study guide that you mentioned. Thanks for your help and support! See you around the forums! :)

Thanks @Andrew Syrios I will look into joining my local REIA. Thanks for the support!

@Dmitriy Fomichenko thank you for the resources, I will dig right in! The name tagging didn't work for your name for some reason. 

@Brie Schmidt Thanks for hosting and yes it was great meeting you. I don't think we got to talk, you were always surrounded by people so next time maybe we could chat. 

@Mike York Thanks for the support!

@Mark Creason yup looks like that's the same place you mentioned. I didn't get to have any pizza but next time I will! 

Hello Everyone,

My name is Teddy and I am really new to the real estate industry. I am currently an industrial designer at an innovation design consultancy in Chicago. I learned about the opportunities of real estate after my friend introduced me to a very popular book that most of you have heard of... "Rich Dad Poor Dad". After reading that book, I realized the potential of investing in real estate. 

Yesterday I made my first step into the real estate community by attending a networking event at Dino's Pizza in Norwood Park, IL which was hosted by Brie Schmidt. I thought the event was awesome and I had a great time learning more about the business. I must say, I was very impressed by the passion and compassion from everyone. So I am very excited to learn more and make more connections.

My lease for my apartment ends June 2015 so I am considering to purchase a building with 3-4 units so that I could live in one and rent the other ones out. 

I am open to any suggestions or feedback so please feel free to contact me. I look forward to the new connections and contributing to this great community :)

Thanks!

Teddy
