Read books on multi-family to educate yourself and network with other investors.My very best!

I've picked up books this year and realized how much I enjoy real estate, and would love to understand more about the process here in Chicago. 

My parents may give me a 100-200k loan if I ask.Based on a book I read [Part Time Real Estate Investing], the top markets (2016) areOrlando, Fort Lauderdale, Cape Coral, North Port, Tampa, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, FL, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, TXGrand Rapids, MI, Charlotte, NC, Seattle, WA, Nashville, TN, Charleston, SC, Denver, Co, Madison, WI, Boise, IDBut, I've never been any of these cities so I have no idea.Back to the question, If you can start your Real Estate Investing career in any city in the United States, where would you start?

I don't know much about it but I have read the ultimate beginners guide on this site and hope to learn more from the experienced people on this site.  

I am very meticulous about books, spend a lot of time organizing myself.

Some questions come to mind such as how much of their financial aid is going to pay for their classes and books, and how much is left over for living expenses? 

Bigger Pockets first hit my radar about a month ago while reading Brandon Turner's book on Rental Property Investing. 

Also, BP just release a book by Dave on this subject.

I have limited capital, so I have been reading books focused on doing deals with little and no money down.
