Second home/ first rental investment

[Joe Ko]

Hello there

I'm looking to buy a rental property and maybe use it as a vacation home once in a while. Interested in Myrtle beach area. 

not looking for a beachfront property. 

I've heard there's a lot of crime in Myrtle beach. I want to know you recommendations where are safer areas and where are ones to stay away from.

Quote from @Hamp Lee III:

On vacation homes you can get a loan for 10% down…

 Yes. For my first LTR I think it is a nice entry level. 

Since I don't live in Myrtle beach I need help figuring out which areas to look into and which areas stay away from.
