It’s the same market it was last year.

Pick a target market (only 1-2 markets when you're starting out). 

They have rehabbed and sold thousands of properties...I think they do a good job of handling the rehab plus they put in "market rate" tenants. 

The building has been on the market almost a year and is probably still a bit 'overpriced', although I have yet to do a comp deep-dive with my agent (soon!).

The bedrooms all got rented first month on market and total now is $5500 a month.

Hey Nate, it makes sense to continue building out your investment portfolio in Milwaukee, but if you're looking in the Midwest, I recommend you make sure you get very familiar with the market you're interested in and build your out-of-state team first such as an agent, property manager, lender, and contractors if you're planning on house flipping.I recommend checking out Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene, where he takes you through how to properly invest out-of-state. 

With savings rates so high I'd save in a money market mutual fund until I had enough to get rid of PMI on my primary.

Just a rate does not show what options people can find on the market place.I just locked a loan at 5.99% with 1.15 points and no prepayment penalty for an investor.

Not sure what market your in but if you can find something that you can potentially at the very least break even then that's a win in this market.

I recently added a half bathroom in a market where half bathrooms are worth ~$50k.
