Newbie From Madison, WI

Glad to be part of this forum (officially) I've spent time browsing, reading the books, and listening to the podcast. I'm 35, with two daughters both with ASD. We are unbelievably blessed with the resources we have at our disposal in the area and able to live a "semi-normal life". Including real estate investment into their long term security is the driver for getting in to this! I finally have a great opportunity to make my first investment purchase (a bit ahead of schedule). If I can get to 8-10 rental properties (assuming I stay in the same "category" of single family or duplexes), I can create an extra layer of security for my family.

Thank you all in advance for the contributions and time you've put in to helping people like me feel confident enough to take this action!

Not meant to be a sob story, ha ha, just reality.

@Pat Stilp I'm also a Madison investor newbie - I own one SFH rental property on the north side of Madison and a home my husband and I live in on the west side. @Jack Medford I would love the opportunity to connect with other local investors as well.  I sent a connection request to you both!
