We have a very good relationship with the owners however, if we didn't use them, I'd use Welcome Home Milwaukee or MKE Leasing as both get rave reviews from fellow investors and also am friendly with the owners of both. 

I’m looking for a market that’s beginner-friendly but still offers potential for steady cash flow and long-term growth.

You’ll find plenty of friendly, knowledgeable people willing to respond to your posts.

A friend whose a land use attorney said it's max 5/AC, our lot is about 0.25 AC. 

I promise, the only people that will truly understand what you are going through are the people going through it with you right now, or the people who have been through something similar.Your friends won't understand, your family won't understand - they can sympathize - but they can only empathize so much.

It's awesome you are considering where you want to be and flexible with that.I'd look at your high growth markets, where there is a diversified economy, job growth, income growth, population growth, business friendly environment. 

Yes, it will be exhausting, you will learn a lot, Youtube will be your best friend but don't give up.

You want investors who can help you and telling you where to invest when you are allegedly open to the whole country is impossible.Make a list of places you have a competitive advantage (where you've lived, where your friends and family live, and places you have been that you loved) and then use a list from Dave Meyer or someone else who crunches the data and see where there is overlap.

I have a 5-year old mutt who’s my best friend, recently engaged to my fiancé of 5 years, aspiring Adirondack angler, learning JavaScript and Golang, self-taught whiskey “sommelier”, Lego fanatic, and car geek.

People need to stop using the term "agreement" like my friend and I have an agreement to meet at the movie theater at 7 PM.
