Starting the Journey

Jake Theis
Posted

I'm looking to start my journey investing in real estate. I'm a 26 year-old recent college graduate living in a college town in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. After finding Bigger Pockets and the concept of house hacking I knew this was the perfect way to get into real estate investing. Feel free to leave a comment if you have some words of wisdom for a newbie like me and/or are in a similar market and have insights you'd be willing to share. Cheers!

Welcome @Jake Theis! I would suggest networking. There is a ton of knowledge here, but meeting local people is great as well. WiscoREIA has a group that meets in Rothschild at The Bar the third Monday of the month and has a Central Wisconsin page on Facebook. There is also an apartment owner association in town if you're looking at Point specifically.
