The SAC Investment LLC property group is known for taking\nfrom their renters. After months of complaints, the company is gaining a\nreputation for being the worst property group in Milwaukee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New resident Tiffany Ellis\nsaid, \u201cI haven\u2019t been able to shower in days.\u201d This came after the management\nteam came to dismantle their shower. Ellis says that the company has left her\nfamily shower-less for two days now.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis happened Thursday. Now\nit\u2019s Saturday and I still can\u2019t shower,\u201d Ellis said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAC Investment has been\nselling and renting properties since 2000. They claim to create a relationship\nwith all of their clients. The company claims to create \u201clong term residency\nand referral network of highly satisfied residents.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based upon yelp reviews, they\nhave multiple one -star reviews. One customer even went as far as saying their\nproperty has a mice and roach problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common factor from\ncomplaints are that the management group doesn\u2019t answer calls. \u201cI\u2019ve called\nabout ten times in the past day and a half, no return or answers,\u201d Tiffany\nsaid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, SAC Investment\noffers 1-5 bedroom rental homes in a variety of housing styles and sites:\nsingle family, duplex, townhouse, row house, and multi-family apartment\nsetting, predominantly in Milwaukee\u2019s west side communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Home owner, Sandra Wholf,\ntold how she used the reviews of the company to decide to move elsewhere.\n\u201cBefore contacting, I read everything online. They didn\u2019t sound like someone I\ncould rely on or work with.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandra said that instead of\nrenting she and her husband decided to take out a mortgage shortly after their\nmarriage. 17 years later, they still live in the same Victorian style home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven though you have to do all\nyour own maintenance (yard work, electrical, plumbing), it pays off to know\nthat you\u2019re not dependent on keeping up someone else\u2019s property,\u201d Sandra said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current UW-Milwaukee student\nEmani Qunicy says she looks to buying a home instead of falling into the traps\nof landlords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the perks of buying\nis to invest into something that will be yours,\u201d Quincy said. \u201cI won\u2019t have to\nask if I can keep pets, visitors, or ask before I change anything. Once I pay\nfor it, it\u2019s mine,\u201d Quincy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After someone is set on\ngetting into a home there are two factors one must acknowledge. First is the\nproperty tax rate of the state you live in and how you are going to get a\nmortgage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process for getting a\nhome mortgage is simple. All that is needed is a Credit check to see how much\nyou\u2019re preapproved for, followed by finding the correct lender, lastly you snag\nthe affordable home of your dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For mid-sized families,\nMortgages could range from $500-$1000 per month. \u201cI\u2019m willing to pay that to\nhave my own, it\u2019s close to what I pay now. I feel I\u2019m being ripped off,\u201d\nTiffany said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked if she would look\ninto getting a mortgage, Tiffany said, \u201cI have to next time!
