The City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Selling for cash in Milwaukee: questions
Can I sell a Milwaukee duplex with both units rented?
Yes. Investors buy occupied duplexes routinely; the leases and security deposits transfer to the buyer at closing.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Milwaukee?
Wisconsin sales close through a title company, which pays the mortgage and delinquent taxes from the proceeds. Once you accept an offer, most Milwaukee County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
