Kollin Ruiz is a Milwaukee, WI agent listed for investors on BiggerPockets.
My name is Kollin Ruiz, and I’m an investor-focused real estate agent with the Horizon Homes Group in Milwaukee, WI. I specialize in helping buyers purchase duplexes and small multifamily properties for house hacking and long-term rental investing. Growing up in a family of real estate investors, I developed a strong appreciation for how powerful real estate can be when approached with a long-term strategy. Today, I primarily work with local owner-occupants and buy-and-hold investors looking to build wealth through well-located rental properties in Milwaukee’s strongest neighborhoods. My focus is on house hacks and stable long-term rental properties, rather than short-term flip or BRRRR strategies. As part of Horizon Homes Group, our team has helped 50+ house hackers purchase duplexes in the Milwaukee area. Because we actively invest in the market ourselves, we understand the numbers, the neighborhoods, and the strategies that make these deals work. If you're actively looking to purchase a duplex or small multifamily property in Milwaukee and want an agent who understands house hacking and rental property fundamentals, feel free to reach out.

Over the past two years, I have helped 40+ investors find and purchase their next investment property in the greater Milwaukee area. My niche is working with investors, and I am an investor myself. The majority of my business is working with investors (both local and out of state), and my process is driven around educating my clients on the nuances of Milwaukee to help them feel confident and educated to make their next investment decision. My start in real estate investing began by househacking a duplex here in Milwaukee. I then house hacked a second duplex, purchased a 5-unit which I self-manage, turned my first duplex into an Air BNB, and currently flip around 2-3 houses per year with some local friends. I became a realtor because I saw personally how real estate investing impacted my overall cash flow and net worth, and how I feel I have made a phenomenal foundation and nest egg for my future family, and I wanted to help other people reap those same benefits. Beyond real estate, I am an avid golfer, I love watching Formula 1, I enjoy going to local Milwaukee restaurants, or in the winter time, taking trips out west to go skiing. I look forward to meeting you and talking more about your goals are in real estste!

Full-time Agent & investor focusing in flips, long term rental and off market properties. Whether you're local or out-of-state, my team and I will help you identify deals that will provide monthly cash-flow, build equity, and start your investment journey the smart way. I work with experienced and newer local and out-of-state investors looking to House hack, purchase flips and long term rentals in Central Texas & Milwaukee, WI. My ideal clients are pre-approved (or cash-ready), have defined and realistic investment goals, coachable and willing to listen to advice and are ready to act when the numbers make sense. I can help connect you with trusted lenders, contractors, and property managers in the area to help build out your team to ensure success in your real estate journey. A little about me... I got my start in real estate as a scattered-site property manager in Milwaukee, WI, overseeing a portfolio of 450 rentals—from single-family homes to 16-unit buildings. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how to underwrite and operate long-term rental properties, which I now use to help investors make smarter, more informed decisions for myself and my clients. During that time, I also purchased a duplex which I did a successful value add house-hack over a span of 4 years which launched my personal investing journey. I also run and operate two flipping businesses, in TX and in WI, which has given me hands-on experience with rehabs, contractor management, cost control and most importantly underwriting deals that actually make money which is knowledge that I bring to every client's deal. Since then, I’ve helped numerous clients grow their rental portfolios, buy and sell flips, have successful BRRRR deals and even help people find their forever homes. I’ve also appeared on two episodes of The American Dream TV—a nationally televised show that’s aired on HGTV and the Travel Channel—where I had the opportunity to showcase local businesses, communities, and investment properties. Check out the youtube links on my profile for the episodes! I currently live in Austin TX but I still operate in Milwaukee, WI, through a trusted partner, Drew Lied—an experienced investor and agent who helps clients build portfolios in that market. Together, we assist both local and out-of-state investors. I'm always open to connecting and talking real estate! 📲 (512) 750-9536

Seth McGathey is a Milwaukee, WI agent, who specializes in multi-family (2-4 units), primary residence, and single-family rental.
I'm well-versed in long-term rentals and house hacking, and I specialize in helping investors succeed in the Milwaukee market. Milwaukee offers great opportunities for investors from all over, but investing here takes local knowledge. As an investor myself, I can help you run the numbers, find the right deals, and build the team you need to thrive. I believe a great agent doesn't just see you as a transaction. Instead, I believe in building a network of like-minded investors that can work together, trading contacts, knowledge, goals, and perhaps even sharing deals from time to time. As my client, you’ll gain access to this network and the same ongoing value I get from it. Our work together doesn’t stop at closing. I’ll continue to support you and your investments for as long as you’re active in Milwaukee. I look forward to connecting and seeing how I can add value to your investing journey.

Questions investors in Milwaukee ask

Local answers only. The general ones (what investor-friendly means, what it costs, how vetting works) are on the main finder page.

What do Milwaukee agents specialize in?

The 7 agents listed here specialize in fix & flip, land, long-term rental, multi-family (2-4 units), multi-family (5+ units), primary residence, short-term rental, single-family rental, and townhouse/condo.

Do these agents cover Wauwatosa, West Allis, and Brookfield too?

Yes. Between them, the agents listed here also serve Wauwatosa, West Allis, Brookfield, Waukesha, South Milwaukee, Whitefish Bay, Fox Point, Glendale, New Berlin, Racine, Shorewood, Austin, Bastrop, Bayside, Brown Deer, Buda, Cedar Park, Elgin, Elm Grove, Franklin, Georgetown, Greendale, Greenfield, Hutto, Kenosha, Kyle, Leander, Madison, Manor, Mequon, Pflugerville, and Round Rock. If your search is really greater Milwaukee rather than the city itself, start with the agent whose reviews mention the town you are buying in.

How should I choose between them?

Read the investor reviews first, then the agent's own forum posts, which show how they think about a deal before you have spent an hour on the phone. Ask each for the last three investment deals they closed in Milwaukee County and how those deals performed. An agent who works with investors will have the numbers ready.

What is an investor-friendly real estate agent?

An investor-friendly real estate agent represents buyers who purchase property to rent, renovate, or resell rather than to live in. They can price a property against rent comps and renovation costs, not just against nearby sales, and they are used to offers written for speed and inspection terms an owner-occupant would not accept. Many are investors themselves.
