Can anyone steer me in the direction of an investor friendly architect or engineering firm. I am looking at a duplex here in town in a great area but need walls moved etc and want to spend a little money on the layout so it turns out amazing.

@Matthew L Duescher have you found someone? I have someone i use pm me.

@Christopher Venckus

Hi Chris. I have done two flips and would mos definitely not go with someone like feldco or any of those companies... you wouldn’t make any money they are so expensive. 

  I usually buy my windows from a Manufacturer in chicago but i also use windows from a local window store on the north side of Milwaukee. I also second what @Andrew Kerr said i would go with double hung windows... it is up to you ir the kind of flip you are doing to go with low e or economy, this usually adds another 40 or 50 dollars to the peice but it is nice to market your home as having low e argon windows. 

On another note, i have not bought windows from menards, lowes, home depot but they have some decent windows as well... from my experience i have just gotten a better price from other sources and find a bigger size variety wothout having to special order unless its a crazy size. @Christopher Venckus i would love to connect and be of any assistance i can. Im in the milwaukee area but work my full time job in kenosha.  Pm me for any questions.

@Colleen Prescott Well Colleen I am a newer real estate investor and I dont know how valid my opinion is but so far so good. I think milwaukee has still a good amount of transitional neighborhoods were someone can get a great deal on properties. I have also done aome reasearch on the rental market here and ot seems like there is a great potential for some good cash flowing peoperties, specially in low income rentals, but thats just my opinio. I am learning everyday and will continue to learn my market and eventually be able to invest out of state. How is your market?

@Carter Crowley Hello and great advise for all of us newer investors. I am a flipper/rehabber/ contractor from milwaukee/oak creek area would love to network!

@Antwoine Linton Good luck on setting up your first deal!!!!!! I will be reading more on wholesaling, as i am foused on flippling my properties at this point.

@Laura Alamery This is some great info, would love to learn more if at all possible.

@Alan Mohabir I am no help on this topic but wow congrats on the numbers!!!! I would love to learn the ins and outs of wholesaling at some point.

@Will Barnard Amen to this Will, I am newer to real estate investment and too have been offered “deals” that aren’t in fact deals. Beware of these and urge every newer investor to get a good real estate angent under your team and do your own due diligence on these deals to not get screwed.
