Are those professional photos?

I am currently learning and soaking up as much knowledge as I can.Do you have any good books/podcast/videos that are good with helping me get started with my first Investment property?

Build professional relationships, they will likely share documents that they use and information about title companies and other relevant services.

Now that I am putting a stake in the ground and claiming to the world- I am a Real Estate Investor, I figured I better man up and join BP professional. 

Any introductions to a Real Estate professional in Milwaukee that owns rental properties themselves would be greatly appreciated!

@Darrell Bratton I thought about going the inspection route, but my professional background lends itself more to appraising.

While investment groups are good, I also recommend you also schedule lunch/beer/coffees with a range of active professionals across the spectrum: brokers, title, CPA, small contractor, attorney, etc.  

There are plenty of other parts of town with good schools too - this is just a start.There's also lots of flipping activity ITP, targeting young professionals and married couples with no kids yet.

I feel bad for the tenants having their property damaged but unless there's some video proof, there doesn't seem like a whole lot anyone can do.

This is your first decision as a Real Estate professional.
