I'm considering becoming a licensed agent, mainly for investing purposes, and possibly for the actual agent side of it. I'm wondering if any Milwaukee agents/investors can recommend an agency or brokerage that offers a quality course.   

Life is too short to be driving around a beat up old "prayer" car.

Some of you need some serious upgrades hahaa.

We all work hard, right? But, "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

So my question today is, how has investing in real estate given YOU the freedom to partake in other hobbies of your interest? Or, what fun and interesting activities have you been able to do now since becoming successful in real estate?

Thanks in advance, just curious to hear how other people enjoy their lives outside of the daily grind.    

How did you get a 3.75% rate????

I'm in the same boat as you my friend. Saved up a great amount and looking to dive in. I figured I'd get started in multi's first. I found that it would be a good idea to us a FHA loan to get a 4-plex, live in one unit, and rent out the rest. I figured that's the best way to start out for me. It only requires a 3.5% downpayment which is great, but you have to pay PMI, which really isn't a big deal. To me this is a great way to get started, while at the same time you can be wholesaling.

Definitely worth your consideration, this may be perfect with your 15k.  

Quick question BP family,

This may be a "dumb" question to some, but I figure I'd ask anyway because I'm not exactly sure. So my question is, could I use 1 loan to buy more than one property? For example, if I got a loan for $65,000 and found 2 properties listed for $30,000, can I buy them with that one loan???

Just curious...

That sounds like an awesome play. That would be perfect to find in Milwaukee. Currently searching..

@Darren Budahn

That's great info. Now I just need to get MLS access in my area. But do you often find it easier to buy properties with existing tenants? Or does that create future issues?

Thanks @Darren Budahn, that sounds interesting. Do you have experience doing that?

Greetings BP world,

I'm learning more and more about turnkey properties and I feel that it's a very interesting niche. I'm wondering if there are any Milwaukee area investors who have some advice on finding reputable companies, or good experiences they've had. Also bad experiences are welcome.

Thank you.
