There are so many ways to get started in real estate, so you need to try to figure out which strategy aligns most with your goals and skill-sets.

I want to start investing there.ThanksMilwaukee is a good market for investingMake sure you align yourself with a good team ( agents, property mgr, attorney , etc ) It seem from other posts you mention Orlando investing.    

So, are your expectations in alignment with what you own?

I’d be more than happy to assist you with finding properties, understanding the local market trends, and developing an investment strategy that aligns with your goals.

@Matt Mertz My thoughts are beginning to align with yours and @Jai Reddy. 

I'd try structure something that was a win-win for both of your (ie where both your interests are aligned)In a traditional buyer/seller relationship, every $100 reduction in price you negotiate is $100 less in her pocket - not a good way to maintain a friendship.I like Luke's idea.

I also believe that deals only really work when everyone's interests are aligned (which is why I'd never buy a flip, or flip myself).I will be going to the SF Real Estate Meetup that J Martin organizes tomorrow, if anyone else will be attending.I very much enjoy learning and am always happy to share my process and lessons I've learned with the community.David

Linda, in my opinion, with the right mindset or what I call the "inner-game", aligning your:Head - Imaging what is possible Heart - Connecting your purposeGut - Trusting yourselfAnything is possible as I know it to be true in my situation.Good luck!!

Well... in the next 12 months the new US 380 alignment will also push up prices in places where it will go. 

Therefore, it is critical to align yourself with someone (investor or investor-agent) that is successfully doing what you want to do.
