@Adrian Kloet  Hey Adrian and welcome to Bigger Pockets!

You can A spend hours and hours on the web watching hour and a half long videos, be clueless of where to go, get sold a training that costs 5k plus (for information that you can learn on the web for free if you look hard enough, bigger pockets,crinoline, youtube, google, reitipster, ..the list goes on forever.

I gross around $110,000 per year in rent and pocket about $3,200 / month depending on how many expenses I have.My goal is to achieve financial freedom soon. 

@Justin Shankus  Hey Justin and welcome to Bigger Pockets!

Long term, this means we're going to see fewer pockets of high prices and low prices.

I think sending mailers to a specific group of sellers will be the best way to find off market deals with my criteria, and I am trying to learn the process and would love suggestions on search criteria that have been helpful when creating sellers lists, and what list broker you found most helpful.Oak Park, ILJefferson Park, ChicagoWicker Park, ChicagoBucktown, ChicagoLogan Square, ChicagoHumbolt Park, Chicago (nicer east pockets by Wicker Park)Hazel Crest, ILHomework, ILFloosmoor, ILTinley Park, IL"Northwest Indiana".. not that familiar to be honestWhere in greater Chicago am I skipping?

So don't be the cheapest game in town.
