I would appreciate anyone who checks it out, you may find it very useful in determining what markets in your area provide the best bang for your buck.

Good or bad, the buck stops with us. 

Just a couple of ideas, but if you are thinking along these lines with respect to your particular property, you can probably squeeze a few extra bucks out a  month.

I think my only option is to find another investor (maybe wholesaler) who does want it and mark it up a few thousand bucks.

Maybe you take it because you might be able to make a couple of bucks for no money down, but add in the risk of Sub2 and I think I'd pass.If this makes money, why is this guy so desperate to give it away?

With in mind, if there are any contractors that are willing to do me a service for a couple of bucks, it would be highly appreciated.So the moral of the question is, is purchasing a home from a bank a PITA or is it not worth it as a first time investment?

Hello @Josh Smith I agree, you best bang for the buck will be with an upper end quality condo such as Royale Palms.

I see tons of houses in Milwaukee that are left to rot in the inner city by out of state landlords who probably thought it was a good idea to buy a $25,000 house that rents for $800 and just hire a property manager to deal with everything.

@Matthew Andrews - Welcome to BP and Milwaukee investing.

Currently house hunting for a single family home to move into myself. I will be keeping the duplex as an investment/rental property.
