Myrtle Beach Investments
Hello All!!
I am new to BP! I purchased a condo in Myrtle last year as A second home. Im now thinking about purchasing a second one as an investment property since I have a 1st home in MD. The condo location is excellent and I was able to rent to friends/family all summer. Being new to This, I wondering if purchasing another which would be as an investment is beneficial(e.g., taxes, rental income, cash flow.....). Any advice /direction would be helpful. I am a teacher and enjoy investing and hope to be a able to suppplement my teacher pension in retirement in 3 years.
Thanks!!!

I may be missing something, but why can't you rent your existing second home on VRBO or Airbnb when you aren't using it? As long as you occupy it 18 days a year it's totally legal to rent it on Airbnb and VRBO as long as you don't sign it over to a company. Might be beneficial to try that out first before purchasing a separate property.
