I’d play in Chicago!

This kind of activity becomes habitual very quickly.

When you are contacted but the member has no post or forum activity

I think pre harvey it was def turning to a seller's market and actually anything above 600-700k and up are still lagging But anything sub 300k...man it has been active!

We're planning to start a family soon so there may be a long-term babysitting synergy play here too!

The group meets once a month, but the facebook page is pretty active. 

Im not playing in SW WI, but i do in Northern WI, you really need to know your market and numbers, compas are tougher to understand, but I do well im my markets, the majority of my portfolio is either rural, or in towns below 15K people. if you have a good team and a PM that operates at a high level, those markets can be gold, but its not for everyone, its not easy, but generally there is little competition and high demand@Michael B. population of 70K is quite big in most of WI other than Milwaukee, Green Bay, Madison and Appleton, there are not many cities north of 50K populations. 

You’re likely being played, which is what I think I said on the other post.

Read Multifamily Millions by David Lindahl and follow his methodology of repositioning a value play.  

@Joe Lambert,If your net passive loss is too large for you right now, don't stop taking a depreciation deduciton, but instead,refuse to claim active participation in your rentals.
