Market Evaluation - Wisconsin

[Brian Wilson]

Hey BP,

I'm the final steps of accepting a new job in Wisconsin. I'm probably going to be living in the Oshkosh area due to close proximity to work. That being said I'm curious to get the input of active investors in the state and their thoughts on what city/towns they like best and why. I still plan to invest in my original home town of KCMO, but I think Wisconsin brings good opportunity for portfolio diversification.

My initial thoughts:

Madison seems like the only sure market to be a solid investment for buy and hold due to it's quality of life, demographics, and strong university presence.

Milwaukee is quite large but seems to be quite rough in the areas where investing would make sense. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Appleton also seems like an opportunity. Small city with lots of entertainment options and very family friendly. Seems like a more updated version of Oshkosh from what I can tell.

Thank you all in advance from all your inputs!
