But for a city like Milwaukee that is not a concern, by a long shot.Here is some anectotal evidence for the last few days:- Wauwatosa, asking 499 on a house that should be 450k, offered 561k, agent spilled the beans and told me were 25k short- Brookfield: asking 799, offer 951k - agent said we were close- listed a Milwaukee duplex for 329k, first offer came in at 370k within hours, will probably have 10+ offers- my Shorewood listing: 11 offers most about 10% over asking (which we had set already high)- Menomonee Falls: 310k asking (underpriced, should have been 350k) they had 150 showings in 2 days and received 52 offers - I thought the agent was sarcasticWe have gotten 4 accespted offers this week, 3 of them at least 50k over asking.

Real estate prices continue to rise, but not all commercial real estate provides the same long-term value and rental income that you want from real estate investing.Because you entered real estate to avoid the fluctuations of the stock market, maintain your level of purchasing power, and gain inflation protection, let's define the term "sticky" and how such investments can work for you.Defining "Sticky" Assets in Real Estate"Sticky" real estate is the idea that the revenue stream of the property is consistent over the long term.

You can't go to Lowe's and buy a trout stream. 

I am tired of working long days, and need outside streams of income in my pursuit of slowing down and eventually retiring.

This can provide a consistent stream of rental income, allowing you to offset your living expenses and generate positive cash flow.

It's generally too speculative and I prefer something that provides a passive income stream so positive cash flow is an absolute must for all my properties. 

Also leave the faucets on with a slow stream. 

Why would I not be pre-approved with the similar amount after I show the rental income from the first deal since my financial makeup did not change much except I got a new loan, but a new cashflow stream to support and overcome it... 

I just purchased my first property, so my capital to invest into another door needs to (ideally) be supplemented with another stream of revenue.

That's not a great deal because maintenance issues will come up from time to time, but it can create an income stream from nothing on your part.
