Just trying to get started and although there is plenty of information out there, I thought the value was in getting the first deal with them and then learn how to replicate it.

We are based out of Long Island and invest in Milwaukee because of the L/T laws, price to rent ratio and some other metrics.Good luck on your journey. 

Schools are not great.I would not consider that area anywhere close to AT&T stadium, but maybe closer than CA. 

I'm seeking some information about this subject.

At no time was I informed that what I was doing was going to cost money.

I want to try and find out more information about the idea of flipping houses in the Bay Area.

Use the information in the book to help with this and do it before contacting the seller.

.• Building owners have to turn over detailed information about their operations and finances, and even share their rent rolls, leases, and P&L statements with tenants and the DOH.• Demolition fees of $60k and more wipes out decades of equity for distressed sellers. • You can’t vacate units without just cause and you are required to keep tenants for 6 months after closing even if they are MTM or their lease expires, eliminating owner occupied buyers.• Because of the long timeline, we can no longer execute 1031 exchanges.• The tenants have the right to sell the contract to a third party for a profit.This ordinance will drive out small, local owners, replacing them with cash-rich, out-of-town corporate owners.

Could you please share the information you were able to come up with?

You can find a lot of information about Milwaukee real estate on YouTube including the most of the neighborhoods and also house hacking.
