the rent regulations in the city are making it impossible for landlords to make money, especially the smaller landlords. are you looking at a multifamily 6+ units?

This protects the lender from slipping into the Dodd Frank banking regulations.

You need to make sure to frame your offer from the perspective of an appraiser and supply supporting information to justify a lower offer than asking.Cash doesn’t mean much in this market unless they are highly motivated and need to close quickly or have multiple offers with contingencies.

I assume lending could be a minefield both in terms of regulations and in terms of doing due diligence, so I have a lot more learning to do.This seems like a great question to maybe toss around this evening to talk to anyone that is doing something like that.

@Alex JuarezHey Alex all my doors come from a local building supply company.

This is the simple economics of supply and demand.

Then try the AG office or whoever regulates in WI. 

Too much regulation. 

If you are going to self-manage, make sure you know the rules/regulations.

I am currently in the San Diego area and looking to begin investing in rental properties in the near future but my wife and I will most likely wind up moving somewhere with a less regulated/restricted and more affordable market.
