1st time rental property investor looking for advice

[Ruark Adam Barrientos]

This is my wife and I’s 1st time purchasing rental property. I’m in the Marine Corps stationed in Illinois, and my wife is a teacher. We’re looking for rental property in Wisconsin or Indiana. We’ve bought and sold a house in fishers Indiana so we feel comfortable in the Indianapolis area but we’re not too familiar with the Wisconsin area. Consider us sponges looking to soak up any and all advice for 1st time rental property purchasers preferably in those areas. Any helpful resources or local personnel that work or are familiar with those areas would be helpful as well. We’re not expecting A step by step guidebooks or anything but any helpful tips would be more than appreciated. Look forward to chatting with you guys!
