Online platforms like Zillow, PropStream, and Auction.com are worth exploring, and don’t forget to check out local real estate groups for deals and partnerships.Since you’re in Racine, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin and Milwaukee REIA are great resources for networking, finding contractors, and learning about funding opportunities.

If Jorje works the same way North Carolina does, go to the register of deeds and learn how to look up substitute trustee filings.

If you're just going in to learn, you could probably gain some value.

The northland MAREI meeting and the main monthly meeting at MAREI have a minimal fee, or for $99 a year you can attend all of them for no extra charge - northland is in person, the main meeting is still online, both are great ways to connect and learn. 

Hi @Jean-Pierre Njiky Djiodjip Welcome to BiggerPockets, It’s such a great resource for learning and connecting with like-minded investors.

Would love to learn from your experiences.4.

I believe in putting in the work—1,000 hours of research, testing, and learning—before offering advice, and I’m excited to tap into the collective wisdom of this community to refine my approach.Here’s where my head is at: I’m considering strategies like short-term rentals (Airbnb) for higher cash flow, long-term rentals for steady income, or even creative options like house hacking or partnerships to stretch the funds further.

I find I learn best when I can see real examples vs. hypotheticals.

 Hey everyone,I’m new to the BiggerPockets community and eager to learn!

I am a newbie and am learning so much by listening to Real Estate Rookie and the webinars on BP.
