Milwaukee BRRRR — Need GC, Realtor + PM

Posted

Hey Milwaukee investors,

I'm an out-of-state investor actively building my Milwaukee portfolio with deals in the pipeline. Looking to add three key team members to my rotation: a reliable general contractor, an investor-focused real estate agent, and a property manager.

What I'm working on:

  • Multi-family BRRRR deals (2-4 units, occasional SFH)
  • Hard money / no-seasoning refi setup already in place (refi at 80% LTV)
  • Strict BRRRR — I underwrite to pull 100% of my capital back out at refi
  • Light-to-moderate rehabs, not full gut jobs
  • Goal of 10-20 doors over the next 6-12 months

Looking for a GC who:

  • Specializes in investor rehabs ($15K-$50K range)
  • Provides written, line-item estimates
  • Works comfortably with hard money draw schedules
  • Reliable timelines and clear communication with out-of-state owners
  • Licensed and insured in Milwaukee
  • Can handle multiple projects at once

Looking for a realtor who:

  • Actively works with investors (not retail-focused)
  • Knows Milwaukee's B-class and C-class neighborhoods
  • Can pull and analyze MLS comps quickly
  • Conservative on ARV rather than overly optimistic
  • Comfortable with cash/hard money offers and fast closes
  • Understands BRRRR specifically — the difference between a true value-add deal and a "rental resale"
  • Familiar with Milwaukee duplex stock and the local rental market (rents, taxes, lead-paint/code requirements)

Looking for a property manager who:

  • Manages small multi-family and SFH rentals in Milwaukee
  • Has experience in B-class and C-class neighborhoods
  • Communicates well with out-of-state owners (regular updates, online portal/statements)
  • Transparent, flat fee structure (no surprise markups on maintenance)
  • Has a reliable in-house or vetted maintenance network
  • Handles tenant screening, leasing, and lead-paint/code compliance
  • Can take on units as they come online from rehab

What I bring to the relationship:

  • Multiple deals per year, not a one-and-done
  • Decisive — I run my own numbers and move fast when deals make sense
  • Financing already in place
  • Easy to work with and respectful of your time

If you've worked with someone reliable, please share their name (PM is fine). References from your own projects are appreciated. Self-intros from contractors/realtors/property managers welcome too — just include recent project examples or client references.

Thanks in advance!

  • Hello Michalis, I would be happy to jump on a call to talk more and see if we would be a good fit. For references, feel free to check some of my reviews. If you would like more, let me know and I can share a few more. As for your criteria for an ideal agent. I feel I fit pretty well. 
  • Actively works with investors (not retail-focused) - I work almost exclusively with investors and was an investor for 5 years before becoming an agent. 
  • Knows Milwaukee's B-class and C-class neighborhoods - these are the neighborhoods I and many of my clients invest in, so I frequently monitoring the on and off inventory.
  • Can pull and analyze MLS comps quickly - unless I am away from my computer, can generally pull them within 20 minutes of a request. 
  • Conservative on ARV rather than overly optimistic - I always like to be conservative in all my underwriting. I usually shave a little off my rent projections, ARVs, and average up my other expenses when I estimate my cashflow/cap rate. 
  • Comfortable with cash/hard money offers and fast closes - doesn't concern me and can connect you with some hard money lenders if needed. 
  • Understands BRRRR specifically — the difference between a true value-add deal and a "rental resale" - I admittedly have never done a BRRRR before mostly turnkey or light cosmetic properties before, but have been targeting for BRRRR on my next deals plus have been working with other BRRRR investors.
  • Familiar with Milwaukee duplex stock and the local rental market (rents, taxes, lead-paint/code requirements) - familiar with all the above. 

  • If this all sounds good to you, let me know and we can setup a call. I look forward to hearing from you!
