I live in the Milwaukee area and want to get started investing locally but eventually want to branch out into other cities and states.

Here is the wholesale rate range at 85% loan to value.  300K purchase price using Jacksonville as the property's city. 

When you converted the 3rd unit and put it on your tax return was it done through the city?

Also had to replace fuse panels to make it work - going back and forth with the city was dificult.

build, rent, refinance, repeat. different strategy but more scalable. land is a buyer's market in most cities in america with more than 6 months supply. in our market in columbus it's more than 12 months supply of land. no one is doing this strategy and you can customize your design to anything you want.

We just need to make sure the lender can do the loan without the tax map key   google HML  Honolulu there is a pretty big HML in that city I suspect they could do this without much problem..

More then willing to share what we have learnt and why these  cities with anyone who wants to chat

I have always been a believer in getting as much money as possible from the tenant before evicting them to minimize the costs associated with turning a unit because where I work, in an older city with a ton of small multifamilies, those costs can add up even in the best of times.

I'm a digital nomad who purchased a 4plex in Carson City, NV a couple of years ago as a buy & hold.

Or part of the city?
