New Milwaukee Investor

[Spencer Krautkramer]

What are some of the best areas to do a house hack in? I've lived in Milwaukee for several years, and am moving back and looking to invest.  I am curious what people think are some of the best areas for this.  I'm looking for a 2/2 or 3/2 duplex where I can live in it and rent the other.  I also like living in prosperous safe areas, so I'd want to keep that in mind.  I'm okay with an older home that needs some cosmetic TLC.  I had the Bayview and Wauwatosa areas in mind, but I'd like to pick the brains of those of you in this forum.  Thanks in advance.
