I think having the space available as furnished space for family is a huge bonus and might just recommend not trying to overdo it if you don't need to.Good luck,Chris

We've never even had a tenant try to sue us over a security deposit dispute.For the last 10+ years, I have occasionally asked for just one example of an investor that was sued, lost, and the judgment exceeded their insurance coverage.

These people are not even trying to hide their fraud at this point.  

I love the Myrtle Beach area.Condos are a dime a dozen so there is stiff competition which pushes prices down.HOAs have their own problems which I always avoid.I would try and buy a beachfront house or 1st row house 

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Try to make sure main photo very inviting so you stand apart from other listings.

This will get you 90% of the way there and should be sufficient.It works the same in a saturated area, it's just more to sort through.You are aware that STRs in Denver are allowed only in certain zones and you must live onsite?

(And I'll try to make it next week this month.

Try to charge them and suffer the consequences.

I'm still using it for flips and other investments but not trying to be long HELOC loans as 10% is still expensive money.If you want to talk more, I'd be happy to have a conversation.
