Quote from @Dave Bobka: Excited to be joining this community!

Through the help of many on here, I have made a lot of progress since joining about a year ago. 

We’re thrilled you've joined us.

Investing in Wisconsin and Illinois is a great move—both states offer solid opportunities for multifamily and single-family rentals.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors or agents, I’d recommend joining local real estate meetups or REIA groups in the areas you’re targeting.

Network StrategicallyReal Estate Meetups: Attend networking events to meet potential partners, mentors, or funders.Professional Organizations: Join groups like the Urban Land Institute (ULI) or the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) to connect with developers and investors.Pitch Events: Look for events that allow you to pitch your idea to angel investors or venture capitalists.5.

It would be far better for you to join NARPM - National Association of Residential Property Managers SE Virginia Chapter and join as an affiliate. 

Exactly the reason to have an Architect on your team to join in on these conversations ESPECIALLY in existing renovations in older homes.

As a new agent I imagine you don't have that kind of coin so if you can't beat um join um.
