Hello from Milwaukee!

[Stephanie Grady]

Hi everyone. My name is Stephanie, and my husband Joe and I are brand new to BP. We were turned onto it by Joe’s cousins in Memphis who use it as a resource all the time. They are up to 15 buy and hold properties in just a few years with the help of BP. We are looking to buy our first small multi family dwelling in the Milwaukee area and are looking for any insight or advice from those who have ventured into this market. We are also interested in possibly working with a property management company as we both work full time jobs and want more of a passive, investor role when it comes to buying properties. Joe is a great handyman and has done a lot of renovations to our current home in Fox Point himself. That being said, we aren’t afraid of homes that need some work. If you would like to connect or can offer any advice, I’d love to hear from you! Happy New Year all! Hoping to create new adventures in 2018 :)

Hi Stephanie:

Welcome - my wife are on the north shore as well. Be glad to share our experiences as we are just starting out, with a few homes now, ourselves.

Can't suggest you connect with @Marcus Auerbach highly enough, and for multi-family specific @michael henry "mr duplex" is a familiar face on the local forum.

I wouldn't be too intimidated with self-managing, especially the first... tremendous learning opportunity.
