What's good enough for a second home is often not attractive or special enough for STR, despite what we see in many STR listings. 

If you have a 1-bedroom or maybe even a 2-bedroom home then it likely won’t attract families and you’ll have people that are just looking for a place to live less expensively in a very expensive area and they don’t need a lot of room and they likely won’t be spending much time in your backyard.

Each of these have their own attractions and draws and unique activities. 

Partnerships or Real Estate Crowdfunding: These options can allow you to invest in real estate with smaller amounts of capital, maintaining your retirement account integrity.ConclusionWhile your real estate investment projections are attractive, the risks and immediate losses from cashing out retirement accounts are significant.

Generally speaking, the farther out you go, the lower you charge, and the more you attract "bargain shoppers."

I'm now trying to sell my rental in Milw - a market I know Nothing about - so I'm looking for an agent to 'consult' with: what's the retail market like, where's it been - where is it at; how are houses moving; what kind of buyer am I likely to attract etc etc etc. 

My suggestion is to communicate being a "problem solver" vs a 1-trick pony like every wholesaler mailing "all cash, quick close" cards or realtors sending out "just listed or just sold" postcards trying to attract a listing.

From my experience, multifamily rentals often attract tenants who submit maintenance requests for minor issues since they usually lack the tools or experience for basic repairs.
