The neighborhoods between Park Circle and Hanahan will likely do well long term as well. 

My goal is to build long-term cash flow while keeping things as hands-off as possible I dont want to take on a major rehab.Is Peoria or Danville a better rental market for my budget, or should I be looking elsewhere?

Terms are not going to be super aggressive due to the fact that the rehab amount is larger than the purchase price though.

Short-term stays tend to bring higher revenue, but long-term rentals can provide stability.If the area gets strong tourist traffic, STRs could be a great fit.

My short term goal(s) in the next few years are to have 4-5 properties (long term), as well as a multi family home.

I have a long term rental in putnam county.

Although most of them are longer-term tenants, I just had a midterm in my guest bedroom.

This one will cash flow a little when we move out but it was a bit more of a long term play for us (5-10) years, so we need the time to make it worth it.

Long term capital gains= 20%3.

Alternatively, keeping the properties offers long-term equity growth but with lower cash flow.Ultimately, weigh your ability to manage future cash flow, your risk tolerance, and your long-term goals.
