NEWMAN!!!!!!!!! from Milwaukee, WI

[William Newman]

BP... How the heck are ya? My name is William S. Newman. I am a new investor, but not without knowledge of the real estate market. I grew up in Milwaukee, WI and currently reside in Glendale, WI. I can smell a good deal. I can feel a great one. Like literally. When I know a great property has potential to net profits, I get the butterfly feeling in my stomach. I eat, sleep, breath real estate. Only recently have I pulled the trigger on making my dream of becoming a renowned investor materialize. It is always hard to take that 1st step, but it is always worth it. I previously did not have a strong support system behind me, but now everyone in my small circle of friends is focused, and in turn it is making me more focused. I also have a baby girl who will enter his world in a few short months. I want to spend time with her, watch her grow and never miss even the tiniest triumph in her life. She also has me thinking more about the future and not the present.

I am a Taurus, so I am very concerned with the quality of life and the future of my family. I also like to see others happy. Just because you live in a certain area does not mean that you should not have pride in where you live. I want to see more people owning homes and not just renting. There is a negative thought process in the inner city. Many believe they will never own a home. Thus their American dream will never happen. This will travel from generation to generation. There will be entire family trees that never amount to anything because no one ever showed them that their dreams can come true. I plan on nurturing families and preparing them for home ownership. I want to show them that it can happen. That you can raise your children in a safe and secure home in a beautiful neighborhood, and as long as you handle your business, NO ONE can take that away from you. The quality and structure that a child having growing up in a home is priceless. When moved around from apartment to apartment, there is never any sense of belonging. This turns into a downward spiraling path of destruction… OKAY, I’m done…

I know that investing in real estate will place me on the road of exactly where I need to be, and hope to end. It will also grant me the opportunity to help others. So please, please, please, reach out to me and I will reach back. My ambition and determination will make me a winner. I was placed here to do this… SUCCEED

Let's get ready to inveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest....

[William Newman]

Thank you Joe!!!! I was doing my best Michael Buffer at the end there. How are you? I am so excited to be finally taking steps in the right direction. BP is an amazing tool.

[Christopher Hunter]

@William Newman Hello William and welcome to BP. I can hear exactly what you are saying sir. I am not familiar with WI, but it sounds similar to some places back home in Virginia.

[Ramon Jenkins]

Welcome to biggerpockets and good luck with your

future investments

[William Newman]

Hello Christopher, and thank you for the greeting. Yes, Milwaukee is a great city, but the inner city is overpopulated with dispair. I just want to help others and help myself. I have heard that Virginia is beautiful. How is the market there?

[William Newman]

Thank you for the greeting Ramon. And good luck to you also sir.

[Scott Demots]

Hi welcome to BP! The community here can definitely help you navigate the REI waters. Search around and ask questions as needed. The information I've got from fellow members has been invaluable. Good luck!

[William Newman]

Hi Scott. Thank you very much for the greeting. I will most definitely use BP to its fullest extent. I think I have been on BP for about 3 hours straight now.

[Dale G.]

Welcome to Bigger Pockets William, we have quite a few people on here from Wisconsin so you shouldn't have any problem connecting with like minded local people

[William Newman]

Good morning Dale. thank you for the greeting. This is exciting! I can feel the connection with BP already. I am at work with one computer screen locked on BP and the other Excel spreadsheets. LOL

[Dorothy York]

Welcome to Newman. Hope to meet up with you sometime as we are both in the same market. Admiral goals, by the way.

[William Newman]

Good morning Dorothy. Nice to meet you and thank you for the greeting. We should most definately meet soon, have a cup of coffee and trade stories. I am SOOOOO ready to jump into my 1st purchase. I have done a lot of due dilengence and the market is ready!

[Steven Sample]

Good Afternoon William, I use to live in milwaukee and currently have investment properties there....I understand exactly what you mean when you said you can smell a good deal...I will be in Milwaukee in May. Maybe we can talk over a cup of Starbucks...lol

[William Newman]

Good afternoon Steve. Thanks for the greeting. We can most definately do that!!! Hit me up when you make it back in the city. Arizona huh??? Lucky you. It's still trying to snow up here... LOL

Milwaukee is so ready for the taking! Just by knowing which areas are good to invest, half the battle is won right there. And it is not oversaturated with investors. As soon as I find a good hard money lender for my just start, no looking back!!!

[Joe D'Occhio]

Ok I'll say it......

helloooo Newman :)

[William Newman]

Exactly... Someone out there in BP feels me... What's going on Joe? Thanks for the greeting. BP is getting serious. I am connecting with the people I admire. Time to makes these dreams come true!!!! WHO IS WITH ME?????

[NA Burkart]

Welcome @William Newman! I work in Glendale, nice community. I also invest in the area.

[Dan C.]

Hey Newman! Welcome to BP. There are a lot of other investors in SE WI on here. Good luck on your RE plans.

[William Newman]

Good evening David and Dan. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for the greetings!!! All these new connections on BP is intoxicating.

@David- I live and work in Glendale. I am really looking in the surroundings area to invest also. Whitefish Bay, Shorewood, Fox Point equals gold mines if you can secure a good deal in those areas. Some new investors might be afraid of the high cost. But the higher the risk, the greater the reward.

@Dan C.- I see that there are many Wisconsinites on BP. Very encouraging. Hopefully we will have BP meeting in Milwaukee soon so that I can meet everyone personally.

[Dan C.]

@William Newman There are actually monthly meetings now for BP members in the MKE area organized by Nicole Pettis. I like the parts of town you mentioned as well.

[Nicole Pettis]

@Dan C. you read my mind! Thank you!

@William Newman welcome! I love your mission statement and I agree with you whole heartily!

We have a great group of investors here in Milwaukee. Everyone is willing to help and guide one another. Like Dan mentioned we have a local group that meets the last Saturday of every month. Our next meetup is on May 31st at Stone Creek Coffee at 422 N 5th St, Milwaukee, Wi and the topic will be "How to find a great contractor". Our goal is to have experienced speakers come at every meeting, but every once in awhile we just like to have a little gathering to get to know one another.

So please join us at the next one!

[William Newman]

Hi @Nicole Pettis Nice to meet you and thank you for the greeting. @Dan C was just informing me that you organize the monthly BP meeting in the Milwaukee are. I will most definitely be there. I can't wait to me all if you personally and continue to network on BP. I am starting to get a very good feeling about this...
