The downside of Milwaukee is that it is an old city and the houses need significant capex, for example we replace several driveways every year, because after 60+ years the concrete on some of them is pretty bad.

Congrats on your massive success in a very short time!!!

Feel free to post more concrete details here or PM if you want. 

Some firm handshaking followed and I was able to acquire a duplex and a single family home in foreclosure, both requiring massive renovations.I drew the design by hand on paper, I worked daily with the contractor overseeing the projects.

I have concrete goals but I live in a very very tough market.

Then we got to the time period where the the housing market was ambling up, and we took massive action in buying a number of properties. 

However, I have the price appreciations and I have included them below:Those cities have seen some massive price appreciations.Best,Brad

People see these big names of these massively successful people and they say I want to be a millionaire and I want to be there. 

Every property I've analyzed in the last 6 months would be massively cash flow negative at the selling prices (assuming 20% down)

I buy for location, and there are a few things that usually make me walk away - late last year I looked at something I was considering buying but there appeared to be a massive sinkhole developing at the driveway that was taking the slab with it - and usually those things are serious foundation problems, unsolvable/difficult to solve water issues, failing roof support system, no siding or severely damaged siding.
