From there network and connect with those in your market to do a fix and flip.

Wherever you are, there will be REI meetups and you should start networking there.

Start by researching different types of properties, such as residential, commercial, or rental investments, to determine which aligns best with your goals.Building a strong network is also crucial.

It was entertaining.This is a larger example of what has been happening all over the country. 

Also, we will be having a free REI networking event Feb 6th if you're in the Milwaukee area.

I think smaller markets say sub 50k population would have a larger impact from one big move from a manufacturing facility or something like a Amazon processing center.

go to local meetups, they should have some here or try meetup app or eventbrite. continue to network and that can help you execute your plans.

I've only scratched the surface of all the great content on the website and I'm looking forward to networking and engaging with the community to learn as much as I can. 

The PMS around here are pretty terrible, I've worked with a lot of the larger ones in Cleveland and I think they just take on more properties than they can effectively handle and don't hire enough additional employees to make it work. 

Quote from @Bob Dole: All,Apologies for the newb question, but I just heard about cost segregation and have been reading up about it online.My understanding is this (and please correct me where I'm wrong):Pros: -accelerate depreciation, front load (vs. just a straight line over 39 years) -save money on taxes because of the depreciationCons: -if I sell the property, the recapture will be larger -not recommended if you flip propertiesSo hypothetical situation:-Majority of our income is W2 based, let's say it's $500k-Net income from commercial rental is $100k-Income from dividends and interests is $100k-Both of us are full time W2, so non-prof real estate (but this can change  -- please see below)So we're hypothetically grossing $700k a year.
