If you go the long-term rental route, and ever have questions or want to chat, feel free to reach out!

Haven't been on here in a bit and I'm loving the new looks and feel.

I am very excited to begin this journey because I’m ready to start living financially free and start a job that does not feel like a job!

No matter what, I'll be consulting experts when the time comes. 

It also can get challenging to set a price now to possibly buy in the future that the owner and you will feel is fair (with markets still appreciating at a healthy pace).You can also keep your eyes open for a seller willing and able to do a land contract with you (but there usually would want much more money down and likely want a full pay off in a few years, but can see what you can negotiate on terms).I agree nothing illegal about options/option fees in WI to my knowledge, but generally seem much less frequently used in single residential transactions than commercial transactions where due diligence and closing timelines may be very drawn out.

I feel like this is the perfect time for a win/win creative finance deal.

I feel like giving the listing agent's a hair more may be the best of both worlds, but that's the most plain sighted answer. 

The current state of the market has created a bit of a learning curve for new investors just getting started and I feel that starting a local meetup would be very beneficial for many of us.

Just feeling extremely weird.but buying a condo or house is almost double or triple the money.

While it is OK for the legalities, I feel that the safer the pool area, the better.
