Newb from SE Wisconsin (greater Milwaukee / Madison area)

[Kevin Zwieg]

Hello BP forum!

I am an engineer and currently work for a major ag/construction/lawn equipment manufacturer (I'll leave it to you to guess which one) at one of their factories in my area. 

My background and upbringing is true to form for the stereotypical Wisconsinite: dairy farming. My family's farm is multi-generational (currently 6th generation, to be exact), so I have been exposed many of the aspects and tangents of RE via involvement with the family business including generational wealth management, land acquisition, rental homes, tenants, etc. 

Now it's time to build my own portfolio for the wealth and health of my own family. It has only been within the last couple of months that I have realized that REI is a great fit for my skill set, experience, and investment interests.

I am evaluating some listings and opportunities in my area including a couple duplex rehab's. 

I look forward to actively joining the BP community. Also, if there are any RE groups in the SE Wisconsin area, let me know. I'm in the Oconomowoc area, to be exact. 

-Kevin
