The response could depend on your specific needs; but, regardless of where you are, there are several items that you might want to keep in mind as you decide whether or not to invest in real estate. They may include: the breadth of tenants' rights, mandated disclosures, restrictions on security deposits, how challenging the eviction process is, and, finally, the amount of property taxes. This being said, Wisconsin is home to colleges and universities like the University of Wisconsin, Beloit College, and Lawrence University as well as popular attractions like the Harley-Davidson Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, and Devil's Lake State Park, so you shouldn't experience any lack of short- or long-term tenants if you're located nearby.
