Welcome to BP, Orlando!

I do some investing in Milwaukee, and I know there is a local real estate investors association (Milwaukee REIA) that meets in Brookfield once a month. My partner went to the last meeting and said there were over 100 investors there, so perhaps this is a good place to do some networking and perhaps find someone who has the experience you're looking for.

Also, BP is a great resource and there are a lot of "virtual" mentors here!

Hey @Orlando Centeno- I hear Milwaukee is a great place to invest these days! I know very little about tax liens, but I believe there is a good book on the subject by Larry Loftis called Profit by Investing in Tax Liens

Keep in touch!

@ErikReichertz, Wisconsin tax deed

Held at Milwaukee County Courthouse ( downtown )
FYI - I never personally purchased a tax deed or lien

Maybe attend a few Milwaukee county tax sale auction
and watch how things our handled

Make sure you do your due diligences

When I lived in WI we did some deals in Milwaukee I learned from a few of the bigger investors to avoid like the plague the area between highway 100 to the north and 43 to the south and 894 to the west.
The key is to invest outside those areas they are a lot safer. That is unless you invest along the lake corridor or in the central business district in commercial. I know if you know the city you will say wait that's over half the city?! Just my opinion. I mention this because its the only area of Wi you can get homes for practically nothing at tax sales.
I have been doing a lot of tax deed sales since i left WI and moved to the Ohio river valley area. Indiana has been good to me. I also get cheap land and homes in West Va. I know another guy that does well in Tx. Pa and Arkansas have some deals too. I believe some of the plains states and southern states are good as well. I never hear people talk about this type of investing on the west coast?
I have traveled a lot to go to tax sales and feel like its the best value for your dollar when it comes to sfh or land. I quit buying foreclosures for the most part after I learned how to invest in tax deeds.
The exception would be larger multi units or commercial.

Thanks William thats helpful.
Funny you mention that Kay. I recently signed up on their website and planning on going to the next meeting if possible. If not i wll be there on feb 25th.

Man i love this site! Thx to all.

@Jenkins Ramon I was wrong on the date. Its actually the 26th of this month.
Its an event called:The Milwaukee REIA presents Real Estate 101 & Strategy Sessions! just making sure im in town that week before i register for the event, and thx for the info

Welcome to BP, Orlando. I am new to the website and REI in general. I had heard about the REIA meeting but hadn't attended one. I think I may try to make the feb 26 meeting. Its good to see another investor in the Milwaukee area
