Why an occupied rental is so hard to sell the usual way
Owner-occupant buyers, who are most of the market, want a vacant home they can move into. A tenant with eight months left on a lease disqualifies your property for them entirely.
That leaves investor buyers, a much smaller pool, who will price in every problem you disclose and several you have not noticed. And you still have to show the property, which means coordinating access with a tenant who has no incentive to cooperate and every reason not to.
Meanwhile Wisconsin eviction takes time even when you do everything right: proper notice, a filing, a hearing, and a writ. Months of that with no rent coming in, plus legal costs, plus whatever condition the unit is in at the end.
