You clearly have factored this in already.

Those were in 2017.

@Brent Richardson, welcome to BP and the forums.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy? Yes, with Renovation Loans for First-Time Investor Buyers
 
Hey BP Community,
 
For first-time investor buyers wondering if now is the right time to jump in—the answer is yes, especially...

Your financial background is a huge asset, and it’s great that you’re starting locally in Milwaukee while keeping an eye on future expansion.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin is a fantastic resource for networking with rental portfolio owners, accessing legal resources, and finding contractors. https://www.aasew.org/For mentors, funding sources, and flippers, the Milwaukee REIA is another great group to explore. https://www.milwaukeereia.com/I’m a member of both and find unique value in each—maybe we’ll cross paths at a future meeting!

I am a new real-estate investor looking at flipping properties in a higher end neighborhood.
