Hello all!  My name is Michael Braatz.  I live in Oconomowoc WI about 20 miles west of Milwaukee.  myself and two friends have decided to get into real estate after a few years of trying to find something to start together.  I am currently in a leadership role in an environmental services department at a hospital (housekeeping).  I have always wanted to start a business of some kind, but I have settled on Real estate because of the relatively low start up costs involved.  Plus, I really love the numbers side of things, and a lot of what I researching has come down to numbers and logic.

My initial goal in Real estate is to acquire my first property (rental) within the next 7 months.  We plan to look at West Allis, Wales, or Oconomowoc (in order to be close to our property).  Long term I would like to conservatively add another property every two years. My business partner found BiggerPockets a few weeks ago and I have been reading and listening every since.  

Thanks!
