What is going on in Milwaukee? What am I missing?
As a new investor in Southern California, I'm on the hunt for a midwest city to invest in where RCR on multifamilies is a little better. I've been looking in Milwaukee and I keep seeing all these properties that look amazing on paper. Like an 8-unit in a B area for $250-350k and will cash flow $200/door even after estimating high on all expenses and paying a manager.
There also seem to be ALOT of these type of buildings. Before I start buying all of them (:D), I thought I'd ask here. I feel like I'm missing something. I know nothing about Milwaukee, so maybe some of you know what's going on. Is the city trending down? Or is unemployment high? Is there some hidden cost/drawback I'm not seeing?
