I make sure that when I am doing major work that I plan to avoid potential problems on a Sunday. ie I am not replacing valves and faucets on a Sunday in case something breaks and I need to shut off water and go get a new part to fix it and they are all closed until the next morning. 

Are you wanting to find something within an hour of where you live or are you open to something farther away?

My plan is to sell my primary home in New York and purchase a house to live in South Carolina.

Since we live in Orlando area, we are looking at a STR in Disney area. 

Ive owned a 3 family in Fitchburg MA for 4 years that has done exceptionally well with it, living for free in one unit for a while and constantly upgrading the property over the years.

Make sure to keep your eye on the prize and do not spend too much time chasing after the next hot thing.

Quote from @James Jefferson: Hi, I have a family member that had a reverse mortgage on their property it's a 3b 1b 1 acre of land heats by oil no hvac and on well water.

We had our first child so we have been on the sidelines for a hot minute.

We went over the inspection report with the agent and he only highlighted the floor and water heater needing replacement.. and that everything else is cosmetic.

Appears the guests may have left the faucet "on" when the pipes were frozen and when no water came out, forgot to turn it "off".What may have caused the overflow of the sink is maybe the drain lines were also frozen?
