I’ll attach a link to a page that describes this in detail as there’s some things to note. https://www.realtymogul.com/knowledge-center/article/what-is...3) who’s your ideal tenant?

It is helping me to be a more knowledgeable REI as well as meet new like minded people.  

That is always a great place to start as you are networking with other locals in the same position as you and can knowledge and resources. 

I have a ton of experience and knowledge on the market.

I stay in the 3 bed until remodel is done. 

It also can get challenging to set a price now to possibly buy in the future that the owner and you will feel is fair (with markets still appreciating at a healthy pace).You can also keep your eyes open for a seller willing and able to do a land contract with you (but there usually would want much more money down and likely want a full pay off in a few years, but can see what you can negotiate on terms).I agree nothing illegal about options/option fees in WI to my knowledge, but generally seem much less frequently used in single residential transactions than commercial transactions where due diligence and closing timelines may be very drawn out.

You will get a lot of reps in, build experience and local knowledge and capital and everything else will fall into place a lot easier if you are able to consistently find good deals.

My primary goal is to find a legal partner who is responsive, reliable, and thorough, ensuring that all parties are kept in the loop and that closing can proceed smoothly without last-minute surprises or delays.I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community for advice:Have you worked with law firms not based in the state where you were purchasing property, and if so, how was your experience?

My advice is to start applying that knowledge by taking action. 

Get a great Realtor Get a great contractor with real estate knowledge also pull the trigger.
