I try to go the extra mile to make my properties stand out from the competition...without breaking the bank of course.I discovered Bigger Pockets 2+ years ago, and have incorporated it into my daily reading routine, with most of my reading taking place during lunch.

I'm doing some preliminary searches for a multifamily property within 20 miles of where I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago (Schaumburg) which will be my 2nd rental property.  

I haven't been to too many meetings, but the ones that I have gone to I've driven to Austin and Dallas for some are worth every hour, mile, and penny in gas, and others are glorified sales pitches.

It's a local bank in my area; I don't know if they'll do business 3000 miles away.
