Wisconsin Dells Short Term Rental

Marcus Gaethke

Hi everyone,

I am from Southeast Wisconsin and am trying to get into rental properties.  My business partner lives in the Minneapolis area so we were thinking about getting into short term rental properties in the Dells/Lake Delton area (pretty close to a middle ground area).  We looked at a property that has a few cottages for student housing that we were thinking about rehabbing to change to Airbnb type housing.  Does anyone have any insight into the market?  It looks like the Dells took a big hit during COVID.  Any help/knowledge of the area is appreciated.

Thanks

    Marcus, my wife and I have a company in the Dells that manages short term rentals. There is too much info that you need before purchasing and I don’t have the time right now to type it all out. If you could send me your email I can type it all out for you. I’m also an Alderman for the city of Wisconsin Dells and can give you some insight to financials of the city and the j-1 program.

    Regards
