75% sounds accurate. I have been told by lenders that 70% is the max cash out refi for a 2-4 units property as well. Not sure which is correct (or if there is one answer) but sounds like you’re in the back park.

Welcome to BP! I’m a newer investor in Milwaukee having only a single investment property (about to be two this month) and one flip under my belt. Milwaukee is a competitive market with a lot of talented investors so getting the right team is crucial. Feel free to PM with questions about the area and I’d be happy to try and help. Good luck!

@Sara Bentley

I'll second what Brock said. I house hacked my first duplex 2 years ago and still live there. I did a few renovations which taught me a lot about how to get through that process. Definitely get pre approved for an FHA loan and start looking for a place!

I also agree with the law of the first deal. Since finishing the renovations on my duplex, I’ve flipped another house and am closing in 5 more units next month. Feel free to PM me with questions!

@Kenneth Mims

Congrats on finishing your first flip! I just finished my first one as well in Mikwaukee and also learned a ton. Looks great from the outside!

@Kat Rathell

I’ve heard of companies out there that specialize in managing evictions (attorneys) and do it for a reasonable flat fee so you don’t have to worry about it. Never personally been through it yet but this seems like a great option to take the headache off your plate.

@James Peluso

Welcome! I am new to real estate investing in the last two years and have been active in the Milwaukee since then. I own a duplex and am expecting an accepted offer on 5 more units today actually. Also just finished my first flip project. Feel free to PM with questions as I am not that far from where you are now!

@Riley Brown

Welcome to the area! I'll echo to reinforce the previous posts that house hacking is great, duplexes are great, lots of options. Bay View, Eastside, Riverwest, or West Allis are all the options I would be looking at for a duplex. The first 3 are super close to downtown which is great for living and also helps support solid rents over time. I am currently house hacking my first duplex and that was definitely a great way to jump into REI. Best of luck to you! Feel free to message with any other questions.

@Carlton Holland

Sent you a PM!

@Teresa Machi

Wow looks great. Congrats on finishing up the deal! Sent you a PM.

@Victor Martinez Lazaro

Welcome to BP! I’ll echo the previous posts and suggest reading some books, listening to the podcasts, and considering attending a local investor meetup. Many are free or just a couple dollars to attend (or free to attend as a guest). Advice is to just get your hands on some resources and start learning. Cheers!
