Cincinnati vs Milwaukee

[Andy Tang]

Hello Everyone,

New investor here. I recently purchased a condo in California and realized it was a “So so” investment. The real benefit, was that it helped build the confidence I needed to get started in real estate investing.

As I’m saving up for another down payment, I’d like to sharpen my axe by deciding and learning about the next location for my first out of state property. I really like Milwaukee and Cincinnati.

I want to invest in single family homes and small multi’s around $200k that can cashflow now or at least in a few years. I’m a dock worker for my 9-5 and I’d like to protect myself against possible automation taking over my job by investing in real estate.

So the question is….does anyone have any thoughts, opinions, experiences when it comes to choosing Milwaukee or Cincinnati?

Thank you in advance,

Andy

I like Cincinnati a lot personally, diverse economy, growing jobs, affordable homes, and stable cash flow are all factors that make me want to invest here
