@Max Servais talk to C4 Insurance out of the Madison area. They understand our industry very well.

@Jordan P. might. 

I would check out the REIAs in the area. WiscoREIA has locations in Kenosha and Madison. I know there is at least one other one in Milwaukee, but I'm not sure the name of it. 

@Ryan Hoganson there are a fair number of us active in Central WI. If you want to meet up in person, WiscoREIA meets at The Bar in Rothschild on the third Monday of the month at 6:30 pm. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to talk more.

Welcome to town! As long as the numbers make sense, it's always a good idea to invest. If you don't mind roommates, house hacking also works. Due to the university, the ordinances are pretty restrictive. In an owner occupied unit, you can have 3 unrelated individuals. Non-ower occupied you're limited to 2.

There are a few of us in town that are here on BP. There is also the Central WI chapter of WiscoREIA that meets at The Bar in Rothschild at 6:30 pm on the third Monday of the month.

Welcome @Jake Theis! I would suggest networking. There is a ton of knowledge here, but meeting local people is great as well. WiscoREIA has a group that meets in Rothschild at The Bar the third Monday of the month and has a Central Wisconsin page on Facebook. There is also an apartment owner association in town if you're looking at Point specifically. 

 The next meeting is 6:30 pm Monday the 15th at The Bar in Rothschild. It's the 3rd Monday of the month at the same place and time for the last couple of years that I've been attending. 

Hi Steph. I'm a little west of you in central WI. There are a bunch of us scattered all over the state. I known I've grown a lot by networking with other investors. I'll put a plug in for WiscoREIA. I finally talked Nicholas into joining me in Wausau a while back. There are meetings in Green Bay, Appleton and Sheboygan that would be a bit closer for you.

Are you planning on covering the Stevens Point area? There is a huge need for people to do what you're talking about. Simply returning calls and not being booked out 9 months plus will keep you busier than you want to be. As others stated, finishing jobs with a quality product will make your reputation spread quickly.

 I do love the creativity of the idea, but you need to not get torn to shreds when you come up against a good lawyer in court. I've talked to Attorney Andrew Schmidt in Wausau some and he laughs about how much he destroys the local PMs when he goes against them in court, and they don't even need to worry about defending their legal structure. 

I manage myself. There are a few PMs around, but I've never heard them referred to as anything better than okay. The only ones that I've heard that might be any better than okay are the ones that only do their own large portfolio.
