More Networking - WI, IN, OH - buy and hold

[Adam Budgin]

Hi everyone, I've been on BP for some time now, continuously learning and turning my vision into a reality with all your help; I have a few properties in the Milwaukee area and wanted to create a post with the intent of building up my network.  I'm looking to connect with like-minded investors in Milwaukee, as well as expand into a few Indiana and Ohio markets over the next two years.  

These forums have always been a huge help to point me in the right direction, and I'm hoping this will help others get started!  

My experience starting off is likely similar to many others - with the most difficult part committing and making the leap to purchase your first property, getting slightly more comfortable after the next. The largest obstacle I'm facing now is the scalability, which is notoriously S L O W if you're looking to acquire properties or portfolio's with traditional savings from your 8-5; I've been exploring SFR portfolio listings as well as apartment complexes and I'm looking to connect with investors either in a similar situation or that can provide advice on making the jump to larger investments.

Looking forward to seeing what replies come in!
