Hi BP Community,

I was wondering if there were any veterans out there who have had succes using a VA Loan to buy a 3 flat on the north side of Chicago. Everytime I place an offer I either get outbid or the inspection comes back with to many issue for the VA. Any recent success story out there?

If so I'd love to chat!

Thanks in advance,

Garnett 

Thanks for all the great information everyone, I really appreciate it.

@David Burkart No, I’m not working with anyone in Milwaukee yet, just trying to get a feel for certain areas.

Hi BP Members,

My name is Garnett and I’m a newbie buy and hold investor looking to get started. I initial wanted to house hack and buy a multifamily here in Chicago in the Wicker Park/Logan/Bucktown areas, but after working with a few BP members I quickly learned how expensive that could be. After doing some reading on the forums it seems that Milwaukee is a great area for a buy and hold investor to work in and it seems the properties generate good cash flow.

I have some time in the next couple weeks and wanted to make the trip up to Milwaukee so I could drive through a few neighborhoods. I’m currently looking for multifamily properties that would need minimal work, require a down payment of $5K-$10K and would attract high quality tenants. I was hoping a few BP members could point me in the right direction and recommend a few neighborhoods to check out on my trip.

Thanks!
Garnett

Awesome! Thanks for information.

Mark, thanks for the phone call and property manager recommendation.

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good general contractor. I'm currently looking for properties in the Logan Square, Wicker Park, Bucktown, Ukrainian Village, and West Town area. My goal is to purchase a 4 flat and live in one of the units. 

Thanks,

Garnett
