Milwaukee comes in many different flavors and matching up your investment goals with the neighborhood is key.

You simply have capital deployed, expenses and earnings, and the difference between expenses and earnings is your return on investment.There are two flavors of self-directed IRA plans.Accounts held by a custodian as trustee function much like a brokerage, but with a different business model.

If they fail to pay the Rent, you evict and their purchase agreement is now null and void.If they do not execute their purchase agreement they are in breach of contract and you keep the earnest money.Another flavor of the same thing.Also, on a land contract...

Off market usually involves wholesaling in some flavor, or another where an investor puts a property under contract and assigns it to another for about a 5-7k profit, or dual closing where the wholesaler is closing on a purchase, and immediately selling it to another investor - the purpose being to make maximum profit without disclosing profit made.Realtors can help you with both options, but primarily the ones listed on MLS.
