Finally, yes, slappin on brand new, energy efficient windows will be a great selling point specially if the houses in the neighborhood have older (aluminum, wood) windows.

looks like aluminum to me if color isnt distorted too much.

Do you mean aluminum?

I don't personally know the other investor(s) from Milwaukee on this site, but Jeffery K contributes quite often to this site and has good insight on buy and hold strategies from what I've seen.The last three rehabs I did where all over the map (Bay View, Racine County, and the near south side,) so I guess if there is a deal that can be had in the Southeastern portion of Wisconsin, I'd be interested.

I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself, my name is Roland Brandt a wholesaler from the Boston area, my main areas of focus are Northeastern Massachusetts and Southeastern New Hampshire.Check out my property listing!

FYI MH's older than '72 tend to have aluminum wiring so keep that in mind if you are planning on buying an old unit and renting it out or hanging on to it.

Rich,Within a couple of hours, you can see some of the historic sites that were prominent in our nation's founding - by visiting southeastern PA.

I'm beginning to get people approaching me about finding properties to invest in (for themselves) so I thought I would entertain the idea of wholesaling.Many properties in my area (southeastern Michigan) are foreclosures and require "proof of funds" to even write an offer on to put under contract.
