Often wholesalers and investors cross paths in these communities.3.Direct Outreach & Marketing:Consider running targeted ads or direct mail campaigns focused on property owners.

I would love to meet any real players in the area who would love to pay it forward and help someone green like myself.

Maybe we’ll cross paths at a meeting!

HUDuser.org is great for vacancy rates, but cross-referencing with local market reports is important for more context.For job diversity and employers, LinkedIn or regional economic development websites often provide insights.

Fingers crossed! 

I ask if they are US citizens or green card holders, and I ask for past addresses for the past 5 years as well as any other names they used in the past (maiden name, nickname, etc).

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!

Ended both projects well in the green. 

@Jaycee Greene I love that!
