In Charleston, I believe the rule is that you have to live on the property as your primary residence unless the property is in an STR overlay district.I personally know some investors who are starting to struggle a little with occupancy/bookings.

If you have to lose a few hundred a month on a long term tenant, it might be better than selling it.

Property values only going up up up for decades. 

Raising rents to $600 per unit would increase the value of the property approx. $200k. 

Located in a prime West Los Angeles neighborhood, the new home was designed with high-end finishes, open-concept living spaces, and contemporary architectural elements to maximize both functionality and aesthetic appeal.Key Details:Land Acquisition Cost: $1.55MConstruction Cost: $1.65MTotal Project Cost: $2MFinal Sale Price: $2.7MGross Profit: $700KROI: 26%By strategically designing for both market demand and investor returns, we transformed this property into a high-value asset while maintaining the integrity of the surrounding community.

As owner of the property you would have a lot more options than just hoping you could exercise an option three years down the line.

I am buying a property and need a contract drawn up

I am looking at a property zoned commercial where there is retail space on the bottom floor and an apartment above.   

A lot of times you cannot view the property.

I was able to sell same weekend for full ask.
