It sounds like you Are working towards the @Brandon Turner house hack!

What area of Milwaukee are you looking for a 4-plex? Actually working on a deal for a 4-plex myself. 

I'm not back yet but thank you for the welcome. And yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking of. But I want to use my VA loan to get the 4 plex no money down and use my capital as a 20% down payment on another property. Either to flip or to buy and hold. Eventally I plan on moving out of Milwaukee back to Houston after fulfilling my terms to the VA loan of 1 year. So property management will be required. I actually want to know what @Brandon Turner would do in this situation. #askBP

Good evening Milwaukee investors,

I am originally from Milwaukee, WI., and I am looking into using my VA loan to get financing on a 4-plex for househacking. I will be back in the area towards the end off the year. Id love to network and speak to the local investors about the market and possibly see what business ventures may come. Thank you in advance.

Hey how are you? Welcome to BP.

I am also a new member on BP, in the Houston area. A few things that I have been doing since I have joined just to give you an idea of the site;

1. Read the Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate investing found here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investin...

2. Set up keyword alerts for your city or the properties/niche you are interested in

3. Listen to the podcasts (They are incredibly informative and have taught me a lot)

4. Participate in the forums and build as many relationships as possible.

5. Read Real Estate Rewind. A book written by 12 different successful real estate investors from BP. Its about how these authors would do things if they started over in the real estate investing business today.

Send me a Colleague Request and we can chat whenever you want. Im willing to share the little information that I have with anyone who will listen lol. We can trade and compare information. Hope to speak from you soon. Take care.

 That's exactly what I was thinking. Im brand new and still have a lot to learn, but on a rental property a 1% drop can be a very big deal if you are buy and hold. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Cordell, this is real estate porn.  Fun to look at but not meaningful.

"Home values in Sacramento are up 5 percent year-over-year, but falling ever-so-slightly on a monthly basis, down 0.1 percent."

They are taking year over year numbers and comparing this month to last month.  Really, 5% up in one year but then DROPPED .1% from last month.  Could it have anything to do with the summer vacation timeframe? 

You are much better to look at the long term trends for your markets.

 Makes a lot of sense lol I appreciate that.

@Cordell Hinton-Brown - First, and foremost, thank you for your service to our country. It is very much appreciated.

Pertaining to the market - the real question is Astros vs. Brewers? I'm leaning towards the 'Stros....young, athletic, fun to watch...

On a serious note, I recognize that I'll be in the minority here, but you do not want to be a long distance landlord. Think about it: if long distance relationships seldom workout, why would you trust someone to live and maintain in your house a thousand miles away? 

 I didn't intend to invest long distance. I am open to moving to any place I choose to invest in. And this may be bias but Brewers all the way lol

Good evening BP,

I am a brand new investor, who recently made the decision to accept Real Estate investing as my priority. I have been studying up on investing for the past couple of months. Bigger Pockets has providing much of that education along with various books, and videos. I am a Marine Corps veteran recently honorably discharged, looking to make a difficult decision. I am originally from Milwaukee, WI and the market seems to be somewhere I can benefit. I also know that the Houston market is doing well. Is there anyone out there who could speak to me about these markets' pro's and con's? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Enjoy your day.

Good afternoon BP members, 

I'm a Houston real estate investor from Milwaukee. I'm in town for a few days and looking to meet with local investors or agents an discuss the Milwaukee market. If interested send reply to post or send me a personal message. Enjoy you day.
