I tell many clients that any given neighborhood is "street by street, or block by block."

Milwaukee is an interesting market (I've been investing here for 15 years) but with 1.6 million people in the metro area and neighborhoods famously changing block-by-block, location is critical.

Signed lease and set up payment with Zillow rental portal, first got blocked yesterday, then my claim shows resolved while it shows my account is now disabled instead.

Those numbers are always great in theory, but people fail to understand what it is like in practiceWhen you are competing with 50 other units in your block for rent, can't rent the property to qualified individuals, and are dealing with constant maintenance/property/tenants issues, you realize that the returns are too good to be true. 

Access to capital seems like the biggest stumbling block to foreign investment. 

It is well documented online that soap in a sump pump accumulates and solidifies and then blocks the pump’s abilty to move.

I usually figure out 3 time blocks per week that the tenant is available and schedule showing during those times. 

Would buying a BRRR south of Tropicana just a few blocks south of the development projected to be completed by 2027? 

Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a trusted carpenter/handyman/contractor who can install wood butcher block countertops?

I would suggest you also consider North Beach (yes, it's a neighborhood within the City of Miami Beach, but deserves it's own consideration for several reasons) and Edgewater (blocks from Midtown).
