Welcome to the site Steve.

Hi Taylor,

Welcome to the site. It sounds like you are off to a great start with your investing. Great to see more Wisconsin investors.

The property looks great! What an amazing price too. Congrats on #16!

Welcome to the site @Christopher Patterson. There is a small group that was started a few months ago in Madison that will be meeting on the 23rd of this month. It's a great group of new and experienced investors. Hope to see you around the Madison area.

@Aaron Mikottis, I'm working on a victorian with doors like that and doing an historic renovation is a lot of work for sure. It sounds like a good plan to steer clear of that for this property. The doors look in good shape from the pictures I wouldn't change them out at all my thought was more matching them if possible. You might be able to pick some up for cheap at a restore type place. If you go for the property and you stick with the 5 panel doors let me know I might have some leftovers from my project that I could donate to your cause.

Congratulations Aaron, it looks like it will be a fun and rewarding remodel for you. 

Quick comments on this. I didn't see any cost for doors or mill work in your spreadsheet. It looks like you have some 5 panel doors with original two part trim then some basic doors in other parts of the house. I'm not sure if you plan to update any of that but it might be something to think about in your planning process.

Best of luck to you I hope it goes great!

I'm looking to find general contractor to work with in the Madison WI area. I'm currently working on a duplex and we will be buying more in the spring.  

Hi everyone,

My name is Cory Hansen I live in Madison, WI and I've been on the site for a bit but did not get to making my introduction yet. I am own renovated and owned five properties at this point. I still own 2 of the properties and I'm a few months away from finishing a renovation on a 1911 Victorian home that I will live in. My day job at the moment is project engineering work for a marine construction company. My goal is to work on getting my investment team built up and put all the pieces in place to continue to buy properties after my current renovation is complete. I work with three other investors and would love to meet more. I joined Bigger pockets after hearing an interview another podcast did with Brandon. I thought this is were I should be because I have been involved in real estate most of my adult life. So far I'm happy with all the site has to offer and it's been a blast to meet local investors. Lots of great people on the site and I look forward to getting to know more people as my company grows. Feel free to message me I love to talk about remodeling project and hear about what others are doing.

I would be interested in attending on the 22nd. I have one property in the area but I'm looking to expand and meet others around Madison. Count me in if it's still a go.
