Really appreciate your comments, thoughts, and advice. 

I think that is what other comments are referring to. 

It's the best way to test what you like and don't like in a low risk environment.Once you've done this, you'll probably have even more saved up and experience to make you more confident in choosing a direction.If you decide to just dive into one of these markets and strategies, I'd recommend focusing on your personality, goals (cash flow first or something else) and how much time you have.I appreciate it thank you for commenting!

@Ivan Terrero I can totally see where you're coming from with your comments (are you from the DR by any chance?)

Thanks for all the comments, specially about the tax exemption (that was not on my radar!). 

If you're interested please comment here or send me a quick message.

Thank you so much for the deep insights.I just completed my third trip checking out properties in Charleston and your comment definitely helped me out with house hunting.First of all, your comments in tandem to conversation within my network made me re-think of what exactly is my goal with real estate in Charleston?

Hey Gerardell - This strategy is indeed effective and to one of the previous comments, staying there for two years will qualify you for the section 121 primary residence tax exemption at the time of sale. 

Your comment on distribution and contribution makes sense though 

@Nathan Furlow, I cannot emphasize Theresa's comment enough.
