A Few More Spots Are Left for Saturday's Landlord Boot Camp

Hi All -- We have a few more spots left for Saturday's Landlord Boot Camp.  Info is below.  Hope to see many of you there.  If you don't want to attend because of the wealth of information that you will receive as well as the great resource materials, then attend for the free lunch  ; )

I wanted to let everyone know that the next Landlord Boot Camp will be held on Saturday, February 9, 2019.

One new topic that I will discuss is Milwaukee County's new ordinance creating a new protected class for tenants with rental vouchers.  I will be explaining the new ordinance and what a landlord can and cannot do with regard to this new protected class.
