We're over in Chicago area but do a lot of business in your neck of the woods.

There is a lot of opportunity in that space. 

Over the past year or so I've read books, blogs, and watched more YouTube videos than I can remember.

Very interested in Rentals and wholesaling. im very excited to join this site - and would love to talk and learn more from you , I'm always eager to learn and meet new people . while I've been trying to get into the real estate world for a few years now - it's been a little bit tough, especially knowing where to start and how to go about it .

Hello BiggerPockets,After reading numerous books from the BiggerPockets library and spending more time on Loopnet than I would like to admit, it is time for me to put some of this knowledge into action. 

I know it'll take more than 1 postcard sent out or one call made and I know I need to make multiple "touches" over a month or two to truly get engagement.

In my opinion, this is much more effective than texting, which often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.

You could also reach out to a local, reputable, property management firm to see if they offer a la carte services for lease preparation, application processing, move in inspection, etc, if you are planning to self-manage but need some help with the more formal items.

One more layer?

I've been hearing a lot about the potential of real estate investing to build lasting wealth.
