What's up with Milwaukee?

[Matt DuSold]

Milwaukee has me interested, and I want to know who has experience out there that can shed some light. I am up there for work at least twice a month so I am starting to know the area pretty well and know to stay as close to the city as possible.

But when looking at property, some of these places are CHEAP. Obviously a lot are cheap for a reason and I have seen past posts on here saying to stay away from certain areas. Maybe its the fact that I have seen how expensive places are on the south side of Chicago so I figure it cant be THAT bad... I am trying to understand this area a little better. Does anyone know how the 53206 area is? Seeing duplexes for 10K and put 5K into, that you can rent for 1000-1100 in an area that doesn't seem all that bad. I feel like this is something people would be doing all day long.

Maybe I am just not seeing some areas of Milwaukee as bad as I should... I would like any insight anyone has on Milwaukee though!
