It’s run by JP Ruiz.

Have a scenario to run by everyone:My wife recently received a job offer in which she would make a lot more money, but we would have to relocate.  

@Sarita Scherpereel runs meetups in Chicago so she may be able to point in the right direction.

I am not exactly sure what my goal is for the long run, but for the time being I'm looking to get a roommate, then after 2 years, to fully rent out my place and hopefully get some cash flow.

Most rental properties in Milwaukee are old and run down, our product stands out. 

The issue you are gonna run into is you will not find cashflow in DC you will find appreciation and cashflow after 5 years.

That's not exactly an up and coming area -- I'd research who built them - can likely find that by going to the SG County Recorded Docs site or by seeing who pulled the permits during const -- Wichita has been on a duplex building boom -- look at the tax value -- They probably have that or less in it on the build - I also doubt they were built to be quality long term -- things such as the trim/cabinets etc -- they all look like the cheapest stuff a guy could buy - if the cabinets aren't oak and there is MDF or pine trim and pre-hung doors with engineered wood jams I'd run.  2-3 yrs ago for $180k -205 or so you could buy duplexes in Maize, Kechi, Valley center all day to builders that were selling them off to investors - not worth that in that area.

It can also be an opportunity to discuss house rules and expectations to ensure you're on the same page.While being cost-conscious is understandable, investing a little upfront for proper screening can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

The discipline to run on a budget for a number of years or decades depending on your math, doesn't factor in emergencies or market changes where the HELOC could be used to invest in other places.

I've been running the numbers on different properties using a variety of online calculators for properties that I initially thought looked like there may be potential.
