Thanks @Marcus Auerbach! @Orlando Spencer Let me know if you'd like to set up a time to chat. We try to make things as easy and transparent as possible. You can see all of our pricing and a map of our current properties under management on our website.

We've always required this and every property manager I know requires this as well.

Appreciate the opinion @Jeff Parkin. Hope you're able to find a market to invest in that you feel safe to walk around. If you decide to give Milwaukee a shot, I'd be happy to walk you around and show you all the cool stuff that is happening here as well as some of the areas we have opportunities to improve on.

@Rebecca Knox You took the words right out of my mouth. It was only a few years ago that 90% of the out of state investors I talked to were coming to Milwaukee and excited to see what this city has to offer. Now it's less than 50% and it's pretty concerning. Direct quote from a call with someone in New Jersey two weeks ago "Why would I come to Milwaukee? I don't need to live there, I just need the numbers to work" He was looking to invest in 53206 and was shocked that I was the 3rd or 4th PM that said no thank you. If you're not interested in getting to know and being a positive impact on Milwaukee please don't buy here. Your money is no good here.

The number one thing that beats any map is coming to Milwaukee, driving to neighborhoods, getting out of your car, and walking around the neighborhood you are thinking of investing in.

Thanks for the shout out @Marcus Auerbach

@Balu Natarajan I'd be happy to chat about options and if we can do better for you. Without more information, I have no idea if these charges are high or not. However, there should be no reason to not give you more information. Feel free to shoot me an email and we can look at what we do differently to get you the transparency you're looking for.

Hey @Angela Lojko - I think Milwaukee is a great area to invest in. As others mentioned, it has a number of different neighborhoods ranging in price and safety so you should be able to find something that fits your risk tollerance. Happy to chat further if you have any specific questions.
