Thoughts on buying first property in lower income area?

[Nathan Lebherz]

Thoughts on buying your first property west of the river in Milwaukee? I found a decent triplex that makes sense (will cashflow $100 with me living/managing) but will need a new garage eventually.

I have primarily looked east of the river, but I need a place to live in 4 months and I’m sick of paying someone else’s mortgage!

Any and all advice on the garage, location, or lower income first property is greatly appreciated!
