It's awesome to hear how aware you are about the transferability of your skills to real estate! 

Start small with a property within your budget and skill set, using HELOC for funding.

I have a background working with banks, hedge funds and large infrastructure developers, and have been told my sales and negotiation skills could be leveraged in real estate, particularly in wholesaling.

This specialized skill is rare—after working with many property managers in Las Vegas over the years, I found only two I would trust to place tenants in my properties.Contracts and processes must comply with all city, state, and federal regulations.

Unless you are a seasoned real estate investor with professional title searching skills, I wouldn't do this.

If it could do it what it claims to do in a more streamlined and organized fashion, it could be decent. 

Hi @Avi Manthe being a local milwaukee real estate investor here are some organizations that are worth checking out to grow your network for hard money, contractors, etc. 

From my experience, to succeed in multifamily investing, focus on networking through local meetups, online forums, and professional connections, leveraging your CPA skills to analyze deals and optimize deductions.

If investors attempt to streamline their services, it can lead to a more organized approach to property management, lowers the risk of gaps in insurance coverage or missed tax benefits as well as simplifies communication and reduces confusion.

With a strong desire to learn, I’m focused on acquiring the skills needed to make strategic investments and build generational wealth through real estate.I’m is eager to dive into the fundamentals of the industry, from property evaluation to cash flow management, and is excited to learn from the experienced mentors and peers.Welcome to the community!
