Introduction & Request for Help from a SoCal Newbie

[Account Closed]

Hi,

I'm another SoCal resident looking for my first investment.  During the day I'm an entertainment attorney but at night the entrepreneurial itch gets to me.  Sometimes it won't let go and stays with me through the day.  It's been getting really bad lately.  I've pursued non-real estate ventures in the past but I've always been drawn to real estate.  For the past several years I've been on the sidelines researching, saving and planning and am now ready to take the plunge as a buy and hold investor.

I've recently located a couple properties in the Milwaukee area that I would like to aggressively pursue.  I would very much appreciate any referrals for agents and property managers with local insight and the willingness to point out the negatives of a particular property. 

As you are well aware, your conversations on BP have been a great source of encouragement, inspiration and real-world education for those of us on the sidelines.  I am grateful for everyone's willingness to share, advise and teach and look forward to contributing.

Talk to you soon,

Arash
