Brand New Investor in Milwaukee

[Adam Lewis]

Hey guys!

This is my first post on BiggerPockets and I couldn't be more excited to immerse myself into the real estate investing world. I moved to Milwaukee about a year ago after graduating from college in Pennsylvania and have been spending a lot of my free time reading, learning, and talking about real estate investing--I'm quickly moving toward making the leap!

To avoid the paralysis that comes with all the options real estate has to offer, I'm fully focused on starting in wholesaling. I'm a team player at heart and am excited to help sellers find solutions to their situations and investors reach their goals. I'm seeking out other investors, realtors, contractors, etc. to connect with, learn from, and build mutually beneficial relationships with. I'm hoping to get a few key questions answered:

1. How are you able to move quickly through the process once you get a lead? Between estimating repair costs and determining ARV, how do you ensure you can make a quick offer?

2. How do you choose which "list" or group to market to? It sounds like the key is just choosing one and making sure you provide a campaign of materials as opposed to a one and done of several lists, but what do you think?

I understand real estate is a team business, a people business--any help in my early stages will be greatly appreciated and will be certainly remembered down the road!

I look forward to hearing from you guys!
