We talked about the pros and cons and he said I had to meet his partner, Ron who is a part owner in a CrossFit gym and sits on the board of a sports marketing and gaming company.

When they tried to meet with OP, they were told to leave.

There's a breakfast meeting at Pop's Sunset Grill in Nokomis every Tuesday at 8am.

I’ve seen folks pivot their plans quickly if they discover one city has friendier permit processes than another.Great to meet you @Christopher Jennings - I see that Pat has already commented, she's a fantastic resource to have in your new backyard.

While having high standards is important, it's worth considering that many Section 8 tenants might not meet requirements like a 640 credit score or $90,000 in household income.

Would love to meet more people.  

I’m a member of both, as well as an agent and investor, and they’ve been great resources.Hope to meet you at an event soon and always happy to talk shop about the Milwaukee market or multi-family investing.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Meet with a local banker & schedule a time to talk with a mortgage broker, they'll give you at least a baseline of what kind of down payment options and rates are out there.After that, if you're still wanting to research more creative options, do some looking into seller financing (a very hot topic with good, and bad, advice out there), look into private lenders, and commercial financing options.If you're wanting to live in 1/4 of your quadplex, then conventional residential loans may in fact be your best option as you can purchase that with a fannie/freddy loan with very low down, and use up to 75% of the income from the property toward your own income. 

Great to meet you via forums and will do!
