Milwaukee and surrounding areas

[Stephen Yancey]

Hello everyone,

I am new to real estate investing I love reading all of your advice and details on the deals you're working on , I stay in Milwaukee and we have a lot of foreclosed, boarded up homes if anyone is willing to connect I am be boots on the ground here for you.

I know Milwaukee isn't the most desirable city but to a creative person I feel like with the things we have building up in the city this could be a potential gold mine.

@Stephen Yancey, Welcome to BP! I'm a local to Milwaukee as well, just north up in Mequon/Thiensville. Milwaukee is offering some pretty sweet programs right now for investors, I believe I just saw on the news today that they're offering 100 properties for $1 or something? I'm sure the contingencies abound, but I'll be checking into it none the less, it seems crazy.

Anyways, I'd strongly encourage you to attend the local Brew City Meetup that is held every month here in Milwaukee. January's meet up is going to be at the Quality Inn in Brookfield. I'd check it out, there are already 150+ investors signed up to attend, so plenty of potential to network. There is of course, the Milwaukee REIA, another great opportunity for networking with other local investors.

Hope to see you there!
