Do you feel like it is worth it? 

All-in-all, I think this thread does show what most generally feel about WL.

Furnished finder has a lot of working professionals.

I'd recommend LPG Management: https://toledoarearentals.com/I currently use them to professionally manage 2 of my properties as an out of state investor.

Personally, I've been investing more than 50 years and never looked at the demographics for a neighborhood one time because I always felt that you need more personal knowledge about the neighborhood e.g. whether it is blue-collar working people, whether it infested with gangbangers, what the ability to increase rents is, etc. and the only way to get a good feeling and understanding is to personally visit the neighborhoods in the daytime, evenings and on weekends because weekends and nighttime is when the bad people come out like cockroaches.

Their pitch is great, but I'm wondering if anyone can attest to the 50/50 split, did you feel the net profit was fair, were there any additional or increased fees tacked on at the end to take away from the net profit... and if you feel that the value you get from them is worth the investment?

When thinking about the cost of the property, how much rent to charge, how much money to put down at first, analyzing cash flow, and hiring someone to manage the property professionally, a building with four homes could give better cash flow and spread out risks more.Good luck!

Looking to connect with real estate professional who are experts/experienced in investment rental properties.

But you are right, Madison is priced quite a bit higher and has tiny bit of a west coast feel mixed into it's Midwest flavor.
