Brenda Koehler started real estate in 2010, buying a foreclosed 4 plex near the airport so that her kids were nearby but not in her house. She remodeled all but one of the units over the years. In 2011, she bought a duplex in West Allis and an SFR foreclosure which she rehabbed. In 2016, she purchased and rehabbed another foreclosed 4 plex near her other 4 plex. As regular tenants attrition, she is moving to Airbnb model only, specializing in travelling nurses, physical therapists, airport personnel, IT people, doctors, etc. The benefit she's seen is the ability to get in and fix things while no one is there and being able to take vacation by taking them off line, etc. Brenda's full-time job is an Information Technology Project Manager.
