@Laura Shinkle Great points! Yes, I have started with furnishedfinder and think the MTR will be a great route considering we have so much healthcare and manufacturing in the area. Great way to think of what they are looking for. I'm too set in my ways now to want to share living space, but hopefully there are enough options with mother in laws, multifamily and carriage houses in the area. Thank you for the tips!

 @Ryan Thomson, @Alan Asriants, @Kyle Tusing Thank you all for the quick responses and tips and tricks. I would agree with you Alan, that our key is to minimize our current mortgage as much as possible. Great tip on LTR for running the numbers, I am definitely more on the conservative side with that. Ryan, those docs you sent are fantastic and will be so helpful. 

Hi BP Community! I've had a bit of analysis paralysis on the investment front as of late, but now believe I have found the strategy that will work for me and my family. My husband and I are getting back into the market in hopes of doing a house hack, specifically near the downtown Greenville, SC area and are hoping to rent out the additional space for the house we find to mid-term rental. Any tips or tricks from those who came before in this market? Would love to strategize and get ideas, best types of houses to look for, how to get the deal, etc. Thanks!

Thank you @Duane Richards, that helps me think through things a bit more clearly. I just sent you a DM about the accountant too. I appreciate your help!

Hey @Brad Jacobson, thanks for the quick response. I just sent you a DM to connect. 

Hi Utah BP Community!

I am looking for a little guidance on a rental property I have in Salt Lake City. I am debating selling it to cash in on the equity, or pull out a HELOC to invest in other properties. What has worked well from others in the BP community and what makes the most sense to build my portfolio?

Side note: If anyone has an investor friendly realtor and CPA they would be willing to share for the Salt Lake area that would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Drew Axtell, 

I am just looking for someone who is great at Cosmetic stuff. I haven't had the guts to do anything beyond that just yet. Thanks! -Lindsay

Thank you, for the info @John Underwood

Hi BP Community, 

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on a real estate lawyer, investor-friendly CPA, and possibly a contractor in the Greenville, South Carolina area. I realize I am jumping the gun a little bit on looking at properties, when I don't necessarily have a good team in place and would love any recommendations or feedback for the above. Thanks!

@Mitch Davidson Thanks for the detailed reply. I have only been looking in the area for about 2 weeks or so, and I see your point on saturation and the inventory. We are going to check it out this week on a little weekend getaway so hopefully that will give us more clarity too. Interesting point on the hired help as that is obviously a big deal for a STR. Are y'all going to be renting your cabin out or is it just for vacation home in the Smokies?
