Hello, I live in southeastern Wisconsin and currently have a long-term duplex in Wisconsin.

Hi there, if you're open to holding onto the property, converting it into an Airbnb or short-term rental could significantly increase your cash flow, especially with the current demand for rental properties.

Since you're focused on equity appreciation, consider long-term rentals in growth areas (e.g., Smyrna, Decatur, Marietta), new construction or turnkey rentals for lower maintenance, or small multifamily properties for stability.

And if you’re into marketing, knowing your way around Canva or even basic social media scheduling tools would be really helpful too.Finding a gig might take a little effort, but there are so many opportunities out there.

Are you asking in terms of lending?

Since this is a real estate forum, I'd just clarify what someone could buy the real estate for and what your lease terms would be.How many sq ft?

If its not someone you know the lender will dictate the terms.

Secondly, I'd chat with a realtor and get some recs on lenders to truly see what you're working with in terms of buying power.

Quote from @Joy Daniels: I manage short-term rentals in the Sarasota area, and I'm always looking for innovative ways to boost occupancy rates year-round.From your experience, what marketing strategies have had the biggest impact on keeping your properties booked?

I am here to create a business strategy that protects personal and business investments and mitigates risk,  procure a coach or mentor, and set up tax strategies to create long-term wealth for myself and my family.
