Right now, I’m in full research and networking mode—learning about Milwaukee’s neighborhoods, connecting with local investors, and exploring my first investment.

Best neighborhood and best assets are subjective and largely based on the individuals capabilities (balance sheet, skill set, time etc.)

Still researching and taking a trip out there to drive the neighborhoods.

The properties that I like the best are typically in the B/B- neighborhoods.

For fix-and-flips, you should focus on Atlanta neighborhoods with strong demand and a good spread between distressed properties and ARVs.

Population decline has slowed, and key neighborhoods are seeing real growth.

I've had properties in pretty rough neighborhoods and i've never had this issue.

Quote from @Sofia Komrskova: @Eric GerakosThere are A and B neighborhoods in Detroit and Cleveland as well.

We have an opportunity coming up from a family member who is willing to sell us my childhood home for what they got it for (240k) and the comps in that neighborhood are 600k+.

None of these communities will be changing to residential neighborhoods, although a couple do have residential 'sides' that full time residents live in and can not be rented short term.Two of the big communities that you will have some issues with self managing are Reunion and Margaritaville.
