@Wayne Lee When rates were super low 2 years ago, and prices hadn't totally spiked, many investors got lazy because almost they could buy anything on the MLS at asking price and cashflow as a rental.As prices went up, many investors started investing in STRs to get properties at asking price to cashflow.Now, many are chasing Class C properties to get them to cashflow at asking price.What consistencies do you see in all three of those scenarios?

Yes, all of mine are in LLCs, and I was aware of that limitation.

Hey all!

(Another option to the above scenario is to instead have the LLC lend my father money to complete the rehab so all the repairs are made in his name...but then the LLC would get no tax deductions on the rehab, plus my father would wind up paying interest on the loan and the LLC would incur taxable income on the interest of the loan as well.)I've said a lot here, but It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can give me advice on the best strategy to pursue...Thanks!

All want experience right now so you must be able to prove you've successfully done it before to get funding right now unless you put crazy money down. 

Hey Mark, Likely the mixed use and the rural for us would need to be separated, but we could group together all of the other ones if you'd like. 

@Angela FondeurI would focus all your savings and energy on saving up for a house hack.  

Really appreciate all the comments and thanks for being open and honest.

For example (all data YoY)Wisconsin 6.01%West Allis: 1%Wauwatosa: 11.9%Shorewood: 13%City of Milwaukee: 11%West Allis stands out, because it has been the HOTTEST market last year, so looks like it's consolidating this year.The April lunch&learn for the RPA will be about Milwaukee rent growth and increases.

Ya went where ya felt comfortable thats all you can do.
