We have excellent locations to BURR  just outside of the city with lower buy in prices.

In real estate much more money is made by finding great deals and making great deals.To stick with stocks for a minute, would you be as focused on finding the "hot" location if you could find a way to buy stocks at a 20% discount? 

Where is the land located?

However, banks that are located in the same general area will typically offer similar loan products.

Find the closest properties in terms of location, amenities, etc. on Airbnb/VRBO and compare that way.

I recommend buying a duplex in a good location.

Property taxes and insurance can vary wildly depending on the location in SC - there really isn't a rule of thumb or generic figure that can be used. 

(Perfect location, great space) I chose what I thought would be the perfect tenant.

These tend to be in better locations and have better construction.

@Valentina ManzatiTo make a smart real estate investment, consider location, potential $20,000 down payment, and rental demand in Florida and North Carolina.
