Northern Michigan Checking In

[Lloyd B.]

Hello all, my name is Lloyd and I have enjoyed soaking up the information that this site has to offer.

A little about myself, I work full time in the education field and purchased a rental home about 8 years ago or so with another person. Looking back it wasn't the best investment but I have learned so much from it. Due to some issues with the property and the local economy I didn't expand my investments like I had planned on.

This year I have added two investment properties to my portfolio. One is a triplex that has a really nice cash flow and the other is farmland. I have a plan in place and have been refining it to keep my goals realistic and to measure my progress.

Due to a lack of decent jobs in my area I have been thinking hard about expanding my area of operations down into Wisconsin. At first I was looking into Green Bay but have added Milwaukee after reading the experiences of posters here. My main concerns are finding areas that are not crime infested slums and areas that have a steady rental market.

Anyways I look forward meeting new people and growing my business.
