 Thank you Lawrence! And unfortunately not yet. There's been a few properties I thought had a lot of potential but currently I feel like I don't have enough saved
and I won't have the time to complete the renovations in a timely manner. I'm currently going into my 2nd year as an independent agent. I hit my quota my first year by working long days, but my book of business won't produce sufficient income until (at the earliest) the end of my 2nd year. I'd like to start investing in real estate to create another income source and to build equity, but I don't wish to plant that seed if it's not the right season. 

 I appreciate the tip! I'll definitely utilize that feature

 Thank you for the warm welcome!

 Thank you Julien! Excited to get started

Hello Everyone, I am currently based in Oconomowoc WI and I plan to invest in Oconomowoc, Watertown, and the surrounding areas. This year (hopefully), I plan to purchase a single family home and turn it into a duplex, in which I will house hack! The first time I became interested in real estate investing was when I worked for a real estate investor as a carpenter/laborer while attending college.

After becoming an avid listener to the BiggerPockets podcast and reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad, I realized acquiring assets and diversifying income sources is the key to financial freedom. I'm currently working as an independent insurance agent and saving up as much as possible for my down payment. I'm looking to connect with like minded people and I'm eager to soak up as much knowledge as possible!
