Avoiding accessive PM fees (personally I recommend most people self-manage)These will eat away at your ROI.

Asking price is $998,0002 duplex units on 1 acre in good location.It's been on the market for a while, so I believe we could offer slightly above $900,000 and be considered.I would increase the rent after updating each unit.

If you can offer a nice unit that is updated for slightly lower than market value, it is going to keep your vacancy rate at a near 2% per year. 

My husband and I own a rental unit in a condo building in Jacksonville, FL.

We sold a wonderful two unit STR in Depoe Bay in 2024, which generally is a no-go zone but has neighborhoods with specific commercial zoning that allows for vacation rental usages as well as a brand new development of luxury homes that allows STR usages similar to Olivia Beach in nearby Lincoln City. 

I am currently self employed as a GC with my own company: Carolina Premier Homes.

I’ve got 31 units, and I’m sure there’s 4-5 other landlords with 15-50 units in my area.

Could be a 2-4 unit or a live in flip.

I am considering living in one of the units myself.

Lower entry costs than NJ or even Cahokia (think $50k-$70k/unit invested), growing demand from remote workers, and rents with upside—perfect for your $10k/month 2025 target.
