Up-and-coming and appreciating neighborhoods for a first-time house hack

[Kollin Ruiz]

Hi all,

I am a 19-year-old college student currently living at home to save money. However, I plan on moving into the city of Milwaukee soon to purchase my very first house hack. I would like to purchase a condo or single-family property and get one or two roommates to cover the mortgage. Ideally, I would like to buy a property for less than 150k. I am wondering if there are any investors in Milwaukee who can provide any insight on which areas I should be looking to buy in which have a good chance of appreciating while also not breaking the bank.  I am also wondering which areas in Milwaukee will be best in terms of my ability to get quality roommates. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
