Hi Everyone. I've been navigating around BP for a few weeks trying to get a feel for the site. Seems to be a great resource. I'm currently living in southern Wisconsin and have just put my investing company together. I've partnered with my mom who is a real estate appraiser and we are resuming a business she started in 2005. I helped her with a flip back then and now I'm going all in and trying to learn everything I can.
We're looking to fix and flip, buy and hold and wholesale in the south central Wisconsin area. Would love to connect with anyone from the area.
I also spent about 20 years on the Suncoast of Florida and 7 years in the Phoenix area and would like to eventually branch out into Arizona. I miss my mountains!
Looking forward to meeting a lot of great people here. Thanks.

Thank you Pamela. I'm looking forward to expanding into the AZ market (partly because it gives me an excuse to go back to AZ!)

@Chris Wood , Welcome to BP! It's great that your here! It's a group of very helpful like minded people.
I own and manage in Rock County and as well as managing in the Jefferson and Walworth counties in South Central.
I can understand why you miss your mountains, I spent some summers in AZ back when I was teen. It was beautiful really. Feel to reach out!

Hi Corina, nice to meet you. I'd definitely like to speak with you more since you operate in the area. And yes, I particularly miss AZ this time of year. Winter came much too early.

Hi Sonia,
Thanks for the greeting. Scottsdale sounds a lot better right now than southern Wisconsin. Nice to meet you.
