[Reid Truschinski]

Hi everyone! I'm Reid, and I am looking to get involved in real estate in Wisconsin. I am currently pre-med while majoring in real estate, and I feel like I have gathered a lot of knowledge through University and watching BP over the last couple of years, but I am now at a point where I want to apply what I've learned and experience the ups and downs firsthand. I feel my next step is to find a market to invest in, so I welcome any advice on markets in Wisconsin to look into or some general advice on how to go about selecting and analyzing specific markets. Thanks, and I look forward to connecting.

Always use your home-field advantage! Madison is a little expensive, but you have several markets surrounding it within a short drive. The best way to get started when you are young is by house hacking a duplex. You can get an owner-occupied loan with low down payment. Rent out one unit and you could even get some roommates in the other unit.
