New guy in Madison, Wisconsin

[Trevin Fritschka]

Hello BP! My name is Trevin Fritschka, I live in Madison, Wisconsin and just getting into the world of real estate. I've been spending a lot of time on this site, and listening to as many podcasts as i have time for. Currently I am 28 and in graduate school (physical therapy, graduate in May 2017), and am taking this time to learn as much as I can to prep for a future in real estate investment.

Ultimately I see real estate as an excellent augment to my full time job, and one that will eventually take over as my full time job. PT will be a way for me to get enough cash to get my foot in the door, and my goal is to ultimately generate enough income with real estate that it can take over for my full time job, and become a business in itself. The ultimate goal is to generate enough passive income that I can choose to work as much or as little as I want, in real estate or PT. I don't live an extravagant lifestyle, and try to follow a lot of the values you'd see at Mr Money Mustache blog for those of you that are familiar (what led me to BP in the first place), and real estate will get me there. I really like that it is something that can absolutely pay off and is directly related to the amount of work I put into it, which is not always the case with the salaried jobs that I will be looking at after school.

I've lived in a lot of different places and have no idea where I'd like to end up. I live in Madison currently, but have lived in Seattle, Chapel Hill (UNC alum), Kalispell, and Truckee previously. Wisconsin is where I grew up and I like Madison but the mountains are calling me back. As a physical therapist I should have some flexibility in where I can find a job, and I don't have ties to any place. That's something I'd also like to figure out in the next year as well. 

Anyway, that's me. I've gained a lot from this community already and look forward to learning more!
