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

I'm originally from the area and have been starting to look at some properties there as I am living in New Jersey.

Quote from @Rou Odab: Hello everyone,We bought this house, and we're living in it and renovating it.

Or paying off my debt, while I provide them with a nice house to live in instead of an apartment. 

If I were investing in eastern WA, or where my extended family lives in Pennsylvania, those 100k houses in good condition are a real thing there.  

After 25 years of co-living have now graduated to one side of a duplex.

Hey @Jerry Nogueras - I was in your shoes too, born in NYC, and lived between there and Long Island. 

. - My wife and I are 33 living in SF with $250k in cash & $250k in other equities. - $6k/ month is our freedom number from a W2- Buy & Hold MFH is our plan (turnkey with PM in place)- This quad was built in 2024 and we're able to secure a 3.75% 10 year rateHow's this deal looking or would it make more sense to go another route?

I live around Huntsville, the epicenter of northern Alabama.

For reference, we're heavily involved in the co-living space, which is an unorthodox strategy but can perform exceptionally well with the right property and systems in place.
