I have seen about 70% here in Milwaukee.

Appreciation is how I have always made the big bucks.

I think the Better Life Tribe has been the best bang for my buck as far as paid things go.

I could tell you that Ardmore is super safe but youre looking at $1M+ for a quadplex.If you need help getting in touch with a lender and seeing what you can get qualified for, don't hesitate to reach out.I would recommend NE Philly and Bucks county as they are very close proximity to princetonI would:First get preapproved and then start to target the areas I would be comfortable living in.You might have better luck with Duplexes in the philly area as there are more of them out there.

@Britney Lewin figure out what you want to achieve and where you want to live.You can probably get more bang for your buck in more tertiary areas in Florida versus primary or secondary areas like Orlando, Jacksonville, Daytona, Tampa, St Pete, etc.One area to consider might be the space coast.

I jacked it up with a bottle jack, sistered up the old 2x6 floor joists with new 2x8's and problem solved for a few hundred bucks.

If the lanlord does not match tax records that can only mean that they are lying or the property has changed hands recently and the tax records have not been updated (in Milwaukee it can take half a year..) 

They had a tax lien book for $100 bucks it was online course they gave book too, show where to get liens even was connected with every city tax lien etc.

Then you can start to go a little bigger.I have screwed up a number of deals in my 15 years investing in Milwaukee.

I hear Milwaukee is a great place to invest!
