I think LA would get you the best bang for your buck right now in the MF space and bay area in the SFR and maybe smaller MF space.If you don't like those, then I would look to Seattle, WA, Austin, TX, Dallas, TX, Phoenix, AZ, San Antonio, TX, Houston, TX. 

Remember, these "wholesalers" are not licensed, not held to any standard, are usually out for a quick buck, and doubtfully have any E&O insurance.

I have even flown to other states to meet with clients.. ( of course I had talked to them on the phone. but it was big enough timber deals that I wanted a face to face and whats 1k bucks in flight car and hotel if I was going to make a few hundred grand on the deal.. its simply the cost of doing business. as this is all I do .I never did not close the deal when I made this unique effort..

Hi all, I am currently looking into multi-families with my brother in the Milwaukee market.

Sure he had to develop the road, utilities, and etc before he could sell his first house but that's his way of making his buck.

Do you live down by Milwaukee?

Steve KachniewiczI plan on owner occupying this investment and then I will probably start investing in Milwaukee or Indiana.

The turnkey operator your speaking with should tell you all of this or they are just looking to turn a quick buck from the sale and move on.We have about 500 properties in the portfolio.

I plan to refinish them and save a few bucks because I budgeted for vinyl plank flooring that I was going to install myself. 

I lived in the Milwaukee area until my early thirties, then moved out to CA ten years ago.
