Find your local REIA and start attending and find the Realtors there to build friendships with. 

I want to create something that adds value to the industry, so I'm looking to build a solid foundation in this field.

It's exciting to see your focus on building a real estate portfolio for financial freedom!

This is very useful.You could build a deck or gazebo to house a hot tub.

That can get you some money up front to continue to build your portfolio and it takes you out of being a landloard and puts you into the position of being the bank instead. 

Quote from @Rory Darcy: Hi guys my name is rory, pretty new to this im an out of state investor residing in new york, looking to invest in wisconsin and illinois, currently looking to build my portfolio around multi family duplexes or single family residencies, would be great to connect with like minded investors or agents who can lend a hand.Rookie investors should not invest out of state.
