Got a duplex.What am I doing ?!- Airbnb CoHost Milwaukee help

[Kuriakos Mellos]

So this somehow happened..in contract with a nice duplex on the southside of Milwaukee in a nice neighborhood with high rental demand and my property managers are thrilled to list it for LTR. I am doing an FHA loan and moving into one floor it for the beginning and wanting to test the waters maybe with an AirBNB on the upper floor to see it if works. If not, I can easily LTR it and then once I move out - LTR the second unit and have a nice cash flowing great shape duplex in WI.

Question, does anyone know any co hosts - property managers that work in the STR market in Milwaukee? Any advice for STR first time diving in?

Thank you!

@Brock Mogensen figure I can be close enough to see what is working and what is not and per @Sarah Young comments make it more ‘hospitable’ and unique.  I appreciate your and @Andy Kornacki’s feedback.  I still have a feeling I might use a prop Managee to run the ‘business portion of it as I want to focus my energy on where my strong income still comes in - my w2 job - and if I see it kicks off - I’ll convert the full duplex into an Airbnb and hopefully by another one in the spring
