We rent an environmental screen database that provides us with a 24 hour turnaround environmental screen and engineer evaluation of the report. 6.

Or maybe it's on a ridge with a view.

I suggest to a lot of our investors to look at areas such as West Allis, Bay View, Saint Francis, South Milwuakee, and if you want to invest in Milwaukee some good areas are Riverwest, Harambe, and Washington Heights.

There are many good locations - I'd suggest that you play around with the "Market Finder" tool at the top of the screen here, included with your pro membership. 

Regarding the views on high returns, what advice do you have for small scale investors?

It’s humbing and frustrating, but it also teaches you those guardrails you’ll want next time.. like thorough screening, a solid lease agreement that sets ground rules upfront, and maybe even setting aside a bit more cushion in reserves.Chicago’s got plenty of investor-friendly pockets.

@Kevin G. go hang out at your local Home Depot between 6-9am on a Saturday.They contractors there at that time are the hard-working ones.Then, you just have to figure out how to screen them so you don't get ripped off.- First Rule: you buy the materials, so they don't need 50% down!

Different lenders can view income in various ways depending on who you speak with.

@Venka Pulla Many smaller PMCs are unprofessional, they can also be vindictive.So, suggest you get all the info you can from your Owner Portal before terminating them.Also, hire a new PMC BEFORE terminating the current PMC.Then, terminate and work closely with the new PMC to get tenant payments switched over and whatever documentation is missing.Hopefully, you'll screen for a new PMC better than you did to pick the current one!

That is because they are looking at the long term view.
