Hello all,

I am a brand new investor based in Milwaukee. I am currently a student (studying nothing remotely close to real estate) and have very little expendable income to truly start my investing endeavor. I am here mostly to learn from the many successes and failures of all of you wonderful people and hopefully one day provide expertise of my own to someone who is in my position. 

I am currently trying to read as much real estate literature as possible to give myself a good amount of basic knowledge and simple strategies I can use if I find the perfect deal. Any advice on how to hit the ground running would be much appreciated!

All the best,

- Ben

Welcome to the board here. I'm just over the border in IL. I'm by Gurnee. Feel free to give me a buzz if you're ever down this way.
