Quote from @Rushi Shah: Hi everyone, my partner and I are renting right now and looking to start our landlord journey.

Quick heads-up: Starting January 4, 2025, Pennsylvanias Act 52 requires anyone involved in wholesaling real estate to be a licensed agent.

Starting looking for opportunities last Fall and so far it's been terrible.

Especially anywhere in California, and particularly Los Angeles county.Talk to longtime neighbors who might know story and whereabouts of owner, but don’t accept as fact.I’d start with researching who the record owner is.

If you ever want to connect, I'd be happy to do so and be of any assistance in getting you started on your future. 

another issue it is about 18 months wait to get a Cabin started due to high demand for builder.  

I started with a 17dll course on facebook for women than then hustle hard to sell me a 10k + mentorship.

There are a handful of active agents here on BP in the Portland area (including my business partner and I) who would be good places to start.

I'd feel comfortable investing ~$50k to start off.

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!
