I still have a full-time job, but my goal is to start with 1-2 flips/year for the first couple of years, then ramp up to 5+/year.Right now, I’m focused on learning as much as possible—market analysis, deal sourcing, estimating rehab costs, and raising capital.

Look up Milwaukee real estate market on YouTube.  

Then the turnkey operator sells the property at the market value to the investor who pays market price of around $200,000.

- Will they search for off-market properties for you?

The conversation covers issues like the impact on property values, tenant rights, and the broader effects on the real estate market. 

Just be sure to account for the upfront costs, ongoing maintenance, and market demand to make sure the numbers work for you.Good luck with your decision, and feel free to share updates as you move forward!

As far as investing in the short term I feel investing close to home (50 mile radius) is the best option because you have a superior advantage by knowing your market.

I won't be out-marketing anyone. 

You won't find one PM that hits all 3 markets as there is a pretty decent distance between the 3.

I would rather recommend being a maximum 3-4 hours drive from whatever market you decide to get into.
