Your financial background is a huge asset, and it’s great that you’re starting locally in Milwaukee while keeping an eye on future expansion.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin is a fantastic resource for networking with rental portfolio owners, accessing legal resources, and finding contractors. https://www.aasew.org/For mentors, funding sources, and flippers, the Milwaukee REIA is another great group to explore. https://www.milwaukeereia.com/I’m a member of both and find unique value in each—maybe we’ll cross paths at a future meeting!

As I start down one path, I have more questions which leads me down other paths with even more questions. 

While you're starting off, its not necessary.

If you feel bad and want to save people money, start with a free pre-screening.

Don't want to pay tax on selling the rentals I unfortunately don't think they actually want to utilize the 121 to sell their existing primary and then potentially buy another one-it sounds like the goal is to ultimately continue owing that initial home which I think makes this whole plan 5x more likely to be torn apart under audit because they're trying to end up with the same property they started with.  

So the biggest red flag here is how they start and explain the program.

Hi Varun, if you're serious about getting started in this space let's connect! 

Really expedites the time it takes to reach FI when you can completely eliminate your housing payment and get into multis for such little down and start building equity/cash flow with each one.

Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

I plan on starting out next year with a small plug and play solution to have minimum risk.
