I'm considering hiring them too for probate in leads in Southern Cal, so any feedback would be appreciated. 

It's a great community and low taxes - at least compared to the properties that we looked at on the southern fringe of Milwaukee.To Jay's point, the path of progress in Milwaukee is outside of Milwaukee.

I just had some similar luck down here in Southern Indiana (New Albany). 

In addition, they advised that we could only use my wife income because she has been employed full-time the past 2 years.A little history: I worked in a bio-tech company in Southern California for 5.5 years (2011-2017)Started to pursue a Software Engineering degree in 2015 - today (half-time student)I got married in 2016, she wanted to move back to the east coast; so we moved to RTP, NC Jan 2017Left my job Jan 2017 to move and decided to take a year break to learn some more programming and expand my SE knowledge (In addition to my school work)Started looking for new work mid-2018, got two offers: one full time position and one W-2 contract position for a lot more money.

.$300k is a tidy sum that could easily cover 10+ down payments on solid B/B+ cashflow turnkey (meaning you don't manage, handle rehab etc) here in Birmingham and some other southern and midwestern markets (obviously I'm biased ;)  Even if you are determined to pay cash to minimize risk, you could have 3-4 free and clear props that do nothing but cash flow $600-850 per month (general range for props between $80k - $120k). 

I am in the process of buying a double brick triplex built in early 1900's (southern Virginia/historic district), 1650 square feet 2 bed/1 bath units stacked on top of each other.

I am in Southern Will County.

The southern half has been completed for many, many years.
