New Aspiring Investor In the Milwaukee Area

[Brad Treiber]

Hey Bigger Pockets!

My name is Brad, im 23 years old and i am a new aspiring REI and i have been lurking on these forums for a couple of weeks now and decided i better not lurk too long and get my first post done! I am currently working to save money to purchase my first property and i am looking to do so within the next 12 months or so. I am currently able to save around $2500/month and am wondering what some of your opinions are as far as a route to go for starting off in this area and market.

I am either looking to find a duplex and house hack it, or start with finding a good single family deal and live in it for a year while building equity and then move to a duplex and house hack it. I do realize that the whole FoxConn drama could be putting upwards pressure on the prices still in the coming months in this area as well so just looking for some guidance on which way to start this journey!

Thanks a lot and any input is appreciated!
