[Ty Johnson]

Hi all. My name is Ty Johnson, I am a 22 year old recent college graduate. I recently moved to Milwaukee, WI from the Minneapolis / St. Paul area. Currently, I am working a 9-5, and have made the decision to pursue Real Estate Investing as well. . As I am fresh out of school, I do not yet have the money to afford a traditional purchase of a property. Therefore, I just started a side hustle to help fund that purchase. In the mean time I am diving into many resources, in order to learn as much as possible prior to making a purchase. 

I am a former college athlete and am extremely excited I found a way to utilize my competitive spirit into something I have developed a passion for. I view real estate as a very long-term wealth creating strategy for myself and am more excited for the journey/chase/climb than anything. 

If anyone is in the Milwaukee, WI area, I'd love to connect. I'd also be interested in connecting with those in the Twin Cities, as I am back there fairly regularly too.
