My main objective is to generate $15k of reliable, monthly cashflow in the next 5-6 years with a buy and hold investment strategy.

Looking for advice / leads for a knowledgeable real estate lawyer in North Central WI (Antigo, Wausau, and surrounding areas) that can assist with seller financed deals. 

I wanted to know if I could pull a HELOC to invest that money into purchasing another property where I could generate passive income.

Or do improvements not even matter that much since most of the appraisal value will be based on the income the property generates? 

I'm confident that once we do that, it will lead to other introductions, opportunities, etc. and we will just take each step as it comes! 

316 leads were "normal" leads and received a typical "we're buying houses in your area and yours caught my eye" sort of letter.

I've had the new property listed for 3 weeks and have yet to have a solid lead. 

There are IRA and other designated IRA that can bring down your AGI.  2)If you make way over 150k, than I would suggest investing in a diversified property group with different outcomes (some rentals might not have a good future appreciation or in a bad area, but have a good cash flow that will absorb your other rental loss ). 3) Invest in other business as a passive investor where you can generate passive income.

I am brand new to Bigger Pockets and can't figure out how to put myself / profile into the hard money / commercial debt space of the boards.Can someone please lead me in the right direction?

I know that MF properties are valued by the revenue it generates but I still want to compare since we are reaching out directly to owners and dont want to go in completely blindsided.
