This coming year set the goal of getting more committed to learn and expand my knowledge to avoid previous mistakes taken as well as to be able to effectively continue to expand my portfolio.I’m here to connect with others who are also passionate about real estate, and I’m eager to learn from your experiences, insights, and advice.

Even though your Realtor might be good and helpful their ultimate goal is to get the house sold and no one will see the vision you have set for yourself, in the same light that you will.

If any of you have questions regarding the firm, please send me a message directly and I will email you or set up a call.

Also look into whether the city has already set up regulations around STR or whether there are potential changes coming down the line. 

We are only very moderately leveraged, but I am in no rush to change that and rather use the cash flow to re-invest either into upgrades (we are doing a ton of driveways this year) or more RE.I don't think there is a right or wrong way, like you said there are many different ways, I just find myself adjusting every year a bit more in that direction.

You can take out up to 75% LTV on your properties.Some banks are not set up to offer solid refinance or LOC options.

I made adjustments, and it paid off when I found great tenants for the third-floor unit.Improvements Add Up: From installing a shared washer and dryer to renovating my unit’s kitchen, every improvement added value to the property and increased its appeal.Stay Financially Savvy: Refinancing my mortgage and renting out the garage spaces were big wins that helped offset costs and improve cash flow.Expect the Unexpected: Maintenance surprises (like a flooded toilet or diagnosing strange sewer smells) are part of the journey.

I live and invest in Milwaukee since 2007, so probably a little bias here, but we are set up very well for future growth.
