My best advice to you, partner with someone who knows their market and has a solid game plan.

Then you hire a coach to accelerate your learning and take you to the next level.Using a sports analogy, it would be foolish to hire a basketball coach if your intent is to play pickup games every Saturday for fun.

I can tell they are both on top of their game.

What you put in is what you'll get out, it's just that simple. 

Would love to connect.I'm currently eyeing at least a 3/2 with a pool/hot tub and area for a game room outside of an HOA.Thank you!

My girlfiend and I are looking in La Grange and Brookfield which is not quite as fast west as you, but my aunt lives in Wheaton so I am quite familiar with your area.What's your game plan over the next two years? 

This is my first personal mortgage so I'm trying to learn the game.
