In my case, I decided to get an MBA and found that while pricey, it offered me all the basics I needed to know and the skills to learn more without letting the fear of the unknown impede my progress.

The idea of spending money that I would never see again (renting) did not make sense to me.About 2 years after my purchase, I found Bigger Pockets while figuring out how to rent my condo.

I don't get on the web version but now I found it.

I found a solid 2 flat in a good area on the south side of Chicago.  

I found a property that I am interested in buying.

I went to the Cook County Assessor site and found it is being assessed as a 4 unit. 

It's worked well for me and I've found sellers are much more responsive when you are under contract than when you are just a lowball offer on a piece of paper. 

I’ve been reading up on it but when I found BiggerPockets, I feel like there’s so much that I don’t know.

I have been researching about tax sales and found this forum and have been doing a lot of reading and learned a lot so far. 

I just found out that my in-laws have been renting a 5bdrm single family home that does not cash flow.
