I want to raise rent, but 700 bucks is not affordable for the tenant. 

I'd challenge you to scroll through the forums here to see all of the self managers who are dealing with nightmare tenants and situations in order to save a few bucks per month on PM.

I'm currently investing in the Milwaukee area.

Looking into Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery county.

People are all looking for the quick buck because that is what a lot of gurus are teaching them.

Seems everyone wants to pay big bucks to learn how to ride a unicorn, then go meet with others who claim to ride unicorns, you know, those like minded people......they are like minded all right.      

Those can be had for 3-5 bucks a piece after summer so easy to replace.Waffle makers.

My team works with a lot of OOS investors here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I would spend a few bucks on nice ads in local magazines and/or do flyers in areas that are higher income. 

I have done BRRRRs in Milwaukee for a decade+ and if I am not on the job 2-3 times a week, things go sub-optimal.
