New investors - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

[Spencer Harvey]

Hello all,

My name is Spencer and I am looking to get started in real estate investing in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. My wife and I are looking to get our foot in the door in real estate investing, specifically buy and hold properties in the metro Milwaukee area. I am currently employed full time as a police officer and my wife is a school counselor. We are hoping to own several single family or multi family properties in the near future to supplement our cash flow in order to gain financial freedom and be able to retire early, travel, and not have to worry about a "9-5" job for the rest of our lives. I am interested in networking with people in the Milwaukee area and would welcome anyone willing to provide their expertise in investing or any other useful information on getting started. 

Like everyone else, I am glad to have stumble upon bigger pockets and have spent hours listening to podcasts, reading forums, and looking through the countless member blogs not the site.

Thanks in advance!

Spencer
