My favorite sport is boxing and I like to run in my spare time.

My advice would be to really focus on placing a quality tenant.

.- They often get sold Class C or D properties while using Class A assumptions - then wonder why they are losing money.Here's some copy & paste info that you hopefully find helpful:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

So an identical neighborhood (income, crime, school quality, etc.) can cost you as much as a $100k less on the South side simply because your neighbors are brown or black as opposed to white.this right here is the gem advice.  

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

That's where good people live, and good people make good tenants.But before you put money down on a house, I would find a quality property manager.

As a result, mid term rentals can do exceptional here and there are quality multi family units in the $250k/door range. 

The two are almost entirely different markets in terms of price points, returns, tenant quality, and overall investing strategy.

The market in Racine is much different than Kenosha and we have been having a hard time getting quality tenant applicants.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.
