Newbie from Eau Claire, WI looking to network!

[Rebecca Schwanz]

Hello, 

My name is Rebecca Schwanz and here's a little about me.

My husband and I started off about 4 years ago house hacking. We bought a four-plex, lived in one unit and rented the other three. After two years we moved into our own house and continued to rent it out. After the birth of our second child, we both REALLY wanted to be our own boss and we were presented with a great deal of a house to flip. We decided to sell our four-plex and made a great profit which we are using to fund our flip as well as hopefully buy more flips or buy and hold homes. We both quit our jobs and are full time flipping this house and are soon to get it on the market (a few weeks). We are looking for our next deal with zeal in central or western WI as well as Eastern MN. I am sending post cards, knocking on homes and scouring the MLS.

We are pumped to be doing this full time, but are so anxious to get this next deal started!

I would love to network with anyone in the area. 

Rebecca

You're in the same area as we are. I've tried to network as well - reaching out to property investors, multifamily developers, that sort of thing. So far no luck connecting with anyone and being able to use the capital we have saved to invest locally. So we've invested in some national syndicated deals. I'm not overly interested in purchasing properties and having to deal with tenants, broken toilets, etc. - my day job keeps me pretty busy. There is a local group of individuals that gets together regularly, though, WI REI or something like that? They meet at the Coffee Grounds - they are very nice people. Ryan Gray, Shawn Tudor or AJ Minaker can give you more info on their activities. I think they're on BP as well. I'm happy to connect also - if there's opportunities to invest in, would be happy to hear about it. Good luck, Rebecca.
