WiscoREIA has locations in Kenosha and Madison.

Hi Brenden, I do not own properties in Cleveland but I own properties in the greater Madison, WI area.

Now, that said, your location is still good as Athens is a growing area and I've heard positives about it from other investors - however, we do not invest there at all (we don't have anything west of the city of Madison), so I honestly couldn't give you any feedback on the rental market there. 

I agree about Huntsville and also Madison.

I have an eviction in process in Madison county IL (southern IL).

I can only speak from my experience in college but landlords in Madison, WI primarily did year long standard leases (not rent by the room) and it was up to the students to find subletters if they wanted. 

One is Madison and they charge $20 a month with Internet access and the other is Allied Servicing which charges $18.50 a month with no internet servicing.

@Barry Pittman  I have extensive knowledge of Jackson MS and up to Madison county.. these areas are very difficult for subsidized housing since so much of Jackson is already subsidized with section 8 and other state and city programs.. and since existing homes still sell for far under replacement value how do you build new.. ???

Although we are seeing some push from tenant organizations in Madison and some extent also in Milwaukee, we are generally considered one of the most landlord-friendly States in the US. 

If it's the Madison area, I can provide a bit more detail.
