Milwaukee Multi-Family Opportunities

[Account Closed]

I started investing in real estate roughly 2 years ago and have continually purchased since then in Eau Claire, WI. I have mostly multi-family, but recently bought a SFH to be flipped and held long term.

In my research, I have seen a number of seemingly good multi-family deals in Milwaukee, WI; Sherman Park area to be exact. I have only visited Milwaukee a few times and would love to know what others know about the specific neighborhood and about Milwaukee in general. Additionally, does anyone have any leads on good multi-family property management companies that might be able to manage and/or give me some "boots on the ground" insight?

I would love the opinions of all, but especially Milwaukee property owners. Is this an opportunity to take advantage of or is this an area to be cautious of? What can you tell me about your rentals in the Milwaukee area?

I wouldn't consider myself an expert on Milwaukee but I would be careful buying there.  It can be a rougher area of the city and would probably recommend your first Milwaukee property to be in a bit better neighborhood.  Google maps went through Milwaukee in 2015/2016 and I use that a lot for work to look at properties which give you a good idea of locations.
