CHOMPING at the bit in SE Wisconsin!!

Pun intended... I am a horse person, LOL!  My name is Justin Schaefer, and although I come from a long line of successful real estate investors, and have studied it off and on for over quite a while; I am new to actually doing it, and now is 150,000% the time!

My highest level of interest is in commercial multifamily properties in the Walworth/Waukesha/Western Racine County areas of Southeastern Wisconsin.  I am especially interested in the cities of East Troy and Waterford now, mainly because those are two cities I wish to live in, and my research indicates that they are both real strong rental markets with great schools, and low vacancy rates.   I strongly want to owner occupy my first property to free up that money for me so I can quickly move on to more deals.  

I am absolutely willing to do all of the work, and manage the properties myself to start with.  I am willing to sit in the right persons office and answer phones whenever possible... I don't care, (although the "whenever possible" time isn't very often right now due to my job.)  I just want to get started right now, and get a deal in the pipeline ASAP.  I have a goal to have my first property by the end of the summer, and I absolutely intend to meet that goal.

I do also have some questions, as far as what can be safe numbers to figure on in my area, and as we speak, I am working on answering those questions on my own through finding a good realtor who is willing to work with me, but if those answers come quicker through BP, then that is fantastic!

There's a little about me in a nutshell.
