You are not correct about me just finding one unicorn. 

As long as you do the accounting correctly, you account for it.

Correct me if I am wrong but if you do a second home loan then you can't put it in an LLC's name?

Maybe BP should create a graphic, like different color rings around profile picture (only 1 ring broken into quads) to indicate what type of investor you are - high/low $/door, STR/LTR, buy-hold/flip, Cbus vs rest of country, deal volume, etc.

I also wont get to cash flow immediately on this like I have on my North Charleston rentals but am at the point that I'm trying to build a mix of both types of property.I've also noticed West Ashley / Johns Island struggles to reach the 1% rule.This is correct, direct to seller is the best way to find this or its pretty rare without a large downpayment or STR.Are others seeing this as well or should I find an agent who is in the loop w/ off-market opportunities?

Am I correct in that or do I need to go to court and get a judgement first?

STR in those areas do well year round because of fall colors and ski resorts and snow mobiling if they are on a lake, but on the flip side you are paying significant more because they serve dual purpose.
