New investor looking in the greater Milwaukee area

[Steven Story]

Hi there fellow BP'ers.  My name is Steve and I have been interested in real estate for a while but only recently have been positioned to get active in it.  My wife and I are looking for small multi-family buildings in the greater Milwuakee area in the neighborhoods of Bay View, West Alias, Wauwatosa and a few other neighborhoods around those.  Here is the kicker though, we live in California.  My wife is from Wisconsin and her father is a real estate attorney and owns several cash flow buildings in Milwaukee.  We are using him as our area expert as he knows pretty much everything about real estate in Milwaukee.  Looking forward to make connections and become an active member of BP.  Will probably go pro soon ;)  Look forward to talking to everyone as we figure this thing out!

Welcome to biggerpockets

Bay View, West Alias, Wauwatosa : are 1% cashflow rule properties 

My preference would go in this order

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.) Wauwatosa

2.) Bay View ( mostly off market deals )

3.) West Allis ( watch out for the city permit patrol )
