@Jack Cottrell you post caught my eye.

Is this a 2 bedroom apartment that is currently being leased (in the eyes of the CHA) as a 1 bedroom apartment?

It’s always interesting to see how people’s backgrounds play into their investing strategies.What kind of multifamily properties are you eyeing right now?

I do feel that rents are probably going to catch up over the next 3 - 5 years.

As a newbie, and one month into owning , we (husband and I) feel like we def jumped in with our eyes wide SHUT!

I don't know about your state but mine (TN) has a lookup tool that will show you the agent's original license date, the brokerage incorporation date, etc.

Keep an eye out for stuff like that.If none of that works, you’re probably in it for the long haul until they leave on their own.

Your financial background is a huge asset, and it’s great that you’re starting locally in Milwaukee while keeping an eye on future expansion.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin is a fantastic resource for networking with rental portfolio owners, accessing legal resources, and finding contractors. https://www.aasew.org/For mentors, funding sources, and flippers, the Milwaukee REIA is another great group to explore. https://www.milwaukeereia.com/I’m a member of both and find unique value in each—maybe we’ll cross paths at a future meeting!

Whether you're eyeing long-term rental properties, MTR Market, or are looking to live here yourself- this area is full of potential.
