,@Leng Thao , and the rest of you,You should come out to the Massive RE Investor's Summit I'm organizing in the Bay Area around October of this year!

My name was on it, but his organization had never contacted me and he didn't know me from Adam.

is that almost everyone on the podcasts who has grown their portfolio rapidly did it during the downturn because they could pluck deals off the MLS.

@William Newman There are actually monthly meetings now for BP members in the MKE area organized by Nicole Pettis.

Personally, my wife and I are just busy trying to get out of our 110-ish hour combined weeks and hang out with our one and three year old before they're all grown up.

I am a qualified golf professional and Tania is a management accountant by training but we have both grown up around real estate.To relax we enjoy our holiday home about 1hr from Queenstown, any other travel around the world we can fit in and I religiously follow the Formula 1 racing.Ive not used forums before so please guide me.

Right now we've been switching gears working on cleaning up/organizing our primary residence and learning new REI methods now that the market has rebounded.

From google maps and the pic my wife took, there seems to be some differed maintenance i.e. exterior paint and slightly over grown vegetation.

There is no official sanctioning organization.
