New and Aspiring Investor

[Nish Chakilam]

Hi all,

I am a young newbie investor looking to make my first real estate purchase in 2025. Over the last year, I've developed a passion for real estate and want to be able to use it to generate income and secure financial freedom in the long run. My day job is being a financial professional, so I have good experience with underwriting and sales that I believe can be translated to real estate. I live in the Milwaukee area and want to get started investing locally but eventually want to branch out into other cities and states. My goal is to build a portfolio of single family and multi family properties. I want to use this forum to meet other real estate professionals (experienced and newbies) and hopefully find business partners. Looking forward to meeting some great people and hearing about your experiences!
