Hi everyone! My name is Nikolai Lumpkins and I'm from Kenosha, Wisconsin and am currently a student at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. I'm looking into investing in real estate in either Kenosha or Ithaca and am looking for mentors and partners who I can work with along the way.

Welcome Nicolai. You will definitely find a wealth of knowledge on here. It might be good to buy a multi unit and live in it while in college and rent out the rest to get your feet wet.

@Nikolai Lumpkins Welcome there are a ton of opportunities in Kenosha, and as Nate said finding a duplex or triplex to owner occupy might be your best place to start, Good luck and let us know how we can help!

Welcome to BP Nicolai; the recommendation from Dominic, isn't a bad idea. There are good deals to be had and 'hacking' (as I think Brandon calls it) can be great since being in the property gives you many benefits, but as such so are the responsibilities - just do your homework first.
I'm from the Buffalo/Niagara region. - nice to have someone closer than the city on board. Any other Western New Yorker's out there? We should connect.

Hi Nikolai,
Welcome! Lucky you, I think you may find some good opportunities up there where the numbers can make sense (opposed to the five boroughs). If you haven't scanned the podcast titles for shows about investing with little or no money, do that - or just check out this: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/03/29...
