New Investor interested in Milwaukee

[Angela Lojko]

Hey everyone, 

New investor looking to get my first property. I am in Chicago and local market is out of my budget for what I am looking for. I was wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on investing in Milwaukee? Ideally, I am looking to get a multi-family (duplex or 3-flat) strictly as an investment property. I was looking to spend around 200k give or take couple thousand above or below. I have been to Milwaukee a few times, however not enough to know the areas in detail. Please share! I am all for running the numbers all day, but since I am not a local it is difficult to see if a property is truly a good deal or not.
