New member in Chicago/Milwaukee

I'm new to BP and REI, but learning so much here. My husband and I have been saving for just over a year, and are looking to purchase a multi-family home to owner occupy in the next few months in the Milwaukee area. We would eventually like to purchase multiple MFHs to rent and manage. I'd love to meet with other investors in the Milwaukee area and get involved with a REIC once we relocate.

Location specific: has anyone been through the landlord training seminar that the city of Milwaukee offers? Would you recommend it?
