and be dead certain what your buying is a good property and and not a problemI only relate that because I can't tell you how many AUSSIES I have talked to who thought it was a great idea to borrow on their homes in AU.. then buy rentals in the war zones of the US not knowing how dangerous and what a absolute terrible investment they were.. many of these folks lost it all.. and not just a few but thousands of them..

It's not dangerous but not a place I would want to live either.  

This is about 15 minutes out of town, so there are fewer buyers that are willing to go up the mountain roads and add to their commute.

Your HOA has directly put you and your family in clear and present danger by not allowing you to mitigate radon.

You ended up with higher profits, and probably putting in fewer repair efforts than required in the initial arrangement.

Shaun,I'm also from the SE Wisconsin area.If you are a first time buyer, Wisconsin has some great programs available for home purchases.If my understanding is accurate (and hopefully someone else from BP can back me up) it's possible to buy a duplex/multifamily building (4 units or fewer) that you plan to live in under the same terms as a single family home.  

If I could go back to the time when I started investing in real estate, I'd change a lot of things and make fewer mistakes, probably.

He reasons that despite the front house being occupied, it's best to show now because there are fewer properties listed and by July we'll be vying for attention with many more listings.

Can be dangerous, know/trust these people, define your terms.

For me this means better cashflow and fewer FL properties longterm.
