I could go to a nearby town called Brodhead and buy duplexes there for 60k, put 10 into them and have 70k all in if need be, I will do my first deal, see where that takes me, I appreciate it, I think this is a good plan and I know I can acquire most if not all of these properties in the next 3-5 years.

Coffee is always on if you need some insight on the market and its modalities.

Hi Everyone, I think it would be so amazing for Brooklyn (and any other borough that is willing to travel into Brooklyn), unite on a monthly to inspire, share, find partners/mentors at a food court/coffee house.

It's short notice but if there are any investors that want to grab coffee to talk about their experience investing in the area I would be really interested and grateful to hear your stories.Thanks!

Once I hit that then I'll aim higher :-)I am looking for connections in Hawaii and would love to meet up and get coffee.

You can find us on meet up Phillip,I am totally brand new to real estate investing and joined BP to see if there were investors nearby in which I could connect with and learn from.

Reach out some time and we can do coffee..Good luck, the site, podcasts, and forums are a great way to get educated!

If he's a somewhat known person you can contact locally, you might start by giving him a phone call to meet for coffee.

I'm in Brecksville so Send me a message if you would like to meet for a coffee.

@Don JacksonYou can't draw the conclusion that no families would rent there because a) as has been pointed out in Milwaukee there are voucher programs and open enrollment, so some city kids can to go private and suburban schools b) for a long time MPS has been busing kids all over the city, so they may not go to the geographically close school c) even if they were going to a nearby bad school, some families simply don't care - obviously some families are sending their kids to bad schools
