A lot of properties in Mississippi have foundation problems and if you buying property that way, there is no way of knowing.

I would not buy a property with all cash, leaving me with no capital.

They promoted people who had no training or mentorship to move up2.

This is very situational but No, in general it is still a sellers market.

Their default reaction is "no, its not allowed".

I even do my Lease Options through escrow to make sure the mortgages are paid and seller's don't walk with the cash leaving me a foreclosed property and no way to collect.

There's no real hard rule on this from a lending perspective. 

The norm is "No part of the down payment can be borrowed funds". 

I expect MKE prices long term (10 years) to at least increase to the national average, there is really no reason why Milwaukee should not get there based on a current trajectory as well as infrastructure spending and re-development we are seeing downtown.We have seen consistent appreciation never below 6%, but also never over 8% over the last 9 years, which basically means median prices have doubled.

SFRs are simple but apartments I have no idea how many units to target.
