Bigger Pockets is the way to go in today's real estate investing.

You have come to the right place...here you will find all the resources to get you going towards your investment goal. yes, market is hot right now, so finding a deal via MLS in Chicago north side is hard...but you can still find deals if you act early and not look where everyone else is looking...or find properties which need work, get them rehabbed and then refinance out...House hacking via FHA loan may also be a good idea.

I'm new to to Bigger Pockets community and I'm interested in pursuing real estate on a full time basis eventually!

Upwork is definitely worth looking into: We've grabbed a number of contract workers from there over the years.Also take a look at Fiverr.com, particularly as a resource for seeing what types of gigs you could perform with your skills and background.

Start small, then work up to bigger projects.

We have been researching it for a few months now and came across Bigger Pockets about a month ago.

Hi All, I just purchased 2 properties (duplex and 4-plex) for cash about 2 month ago in Cincinnati and like to cash out refi to invest in bigger deals. 

Bigger spaces are easier to lease because I can afford to invest money into marketing or split a fee with a broker representing a tenant... however as these are a variety of small office and retail spaces, I'm looking for low-cost advertising solutions.
