Hey Nate, it makes sense to continue building out your investment portfolio in Milwaukee, but if you're looking in the Midwest, I recommend you make sure you get very familiar with the market you're interested in and build your out-of-state team first such as an agent, property manager, lender, and contractors if you're planning on house flipping.I recommend checking out Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene, where he takes you through how to properly invest out-of-state. 

There's many paths to grow your real estate portfolio just make sure you pick the one that is right for you and remember this real estate game is a long term investment. 

If you’re looking for help from a team that lives and breathes STR, treats your real estate journey like your own, and wants to build success together, do not hesitate to reach out.Web: www.LFListings.comIG: @LiveFreewithJD I actually lived in two of these places as a kid (Pocono Farms & Stillwater).
