2 J" Q! v; f" ^3 g MILWAUKEE 鈥? For Sale and For Rent signs have become harder to find in Milwaukees popular Bay View neighborhood. When theres a shortage of supply or available homes like there is right now, demand is high, said Pedro Rivera, owner of reThought Real Estate in Bay View. So, when there is a property available, it becomes much more expensive and harder to afford.

It s mor stanley cup e lucrative from an investors standpoint to come in and invest in short-term rentals, where you can get more for the property, versus renting it to a regular tenant over time, said Rivera. When its a short-term rental you can charge more per night on weekends, in the summer, and when big events come to town. But, those investors dont live in the home, so their Airbnb can go largely unsupervised. Thats the main criticism of many neighbors. Thats a completely legitimate concern, says Airbnb property owner Korinthia Klein. When its a big company, or just looked at as an investment and not personal, thats a problem. Klein owns Korinthian Violins at the corner of Delaware and Rusk in Bayview. She rented the storefront for years, then bought the building five years ago.
