Even if you’re not in the U.S. yet, this market can work really well with the right team on the ground.A few quick guidelines:South Side:• Generally more stable for new investors• Strong rental demand• Solid cash-flow neighborhoods like Layton Blvd, Burnham Park, Lincoln VillageNorth Side:• Higher cash flow potential but also higher management needs• Only recommended if you have a strong local property manager and contractor• Look for pockets near Sherman Park, Midtown, Old North MilwaukeeIf you want, I can share a more detailed neighborhood breakdown or help you match the right area to your budget and strategy.

Meaning the attention to detail is what makes or breaks the deal, in my opinion.

Hi- Looking for input: Keeping details high-level for privacy. 3–4 bed SFH, ~2,000–2,600 sf, 2000s build, water/preserve outlook, NO private pool, standard HOA (not a resort community).

@Alex Bekeza, your detail on LLPAs tied to DSCR tiers is spot on and exactly what we’re seeing across pricing matrices.

I appreciate the detailed response :)

One detail I forgot to mention - both homes will be delivered vacant at closing, so no inherited tenants.

@Rose Na I just sent you the details for the Raleigh networking event. 

Here is what looks like a fairly detailed article for California:https://rentprep.com/blog/legal/california-abandoned-propert...Best of Luck!

There are some platforms now that let you take your deal to multiple lenders easily with, say, one unified OM with all the key details, but you still often fall prey to changing requirements and new docs that Lender A forgot to mention, etc., once you're in the process.

This would be done in a normal residential kitchen — no commercial appliances.I’m trying to figure out whether I should allow this or not, and I’d like to hear what others have experienced.Here are the key details and concerns:• Type of business: cottage-food style baking (sourdough)• No employees• Potential issue: customers picking up from the property• Main concerns:– Liability if someone gets sick or injured on property– Violation of “residential use only” lease language– Parking/traffic impacting the other unit– Increased wear/tear, fire risk, or sanitation issues– My insurance not covering business activity• Alaska does allow cottage food operations, but as the property owner, I know I can still be on the hook if something goes wrong.I don’t necessarily want to shut her down completely — it sounds small-scale — but I also don’t want to open myself up to unnecessary risk.For those who’ve allowed or denied similar situations:- Would you allow a tenant to run a small sourdough/baking business?
