Low Crime Stats Make Appleton, Wisconsin Appealing

Jim Reynante
Posted

After owning properties C/D neighborhoods with high crime statistics, I have experienced all of the things that go along with it: 1) High turnover rate; 2) Tenants that don't care for the property; 3) Little/No appreciation in home value; and 4) High Crime Rate (burglary, vandalism).

I am pretty tired of fixing broken windows, fixing broken doors/locks, and painting over graffiti. So I am looking for a change and a friend recommended Appleton, Wisconsin. So far, my research shows a good mix of demographics, population, incomes, AND the crime stats seem pretty low... lower than the national average.

Anyone investing in Appleton, WI and willing to share your thoughts/experience?

    Rent Growth don't lie in Appleton. This is what BrightInvestor has for 2 Bedrooms in the area.
