"Inflation expectations" is a purely rational and logical way to look at it, but let's consider that bond market buyers/sellers aren't 100% comprised of Vulcans, and that there are highly emotional and irrational individuals among them, as well. 

Well done @David Shaun .

Duplexes are very common here and are much easier to find than a Quad as well.

Found T&H realty services to be pretty interesting as they provide both buyer brokerage service (to help me find deals) as well as do property management i.e. they are not full turnkey provider necessarily, but reduces some of the hassle for me I guess as an out of state investor. 

They have always returned principal when requested in the past, as well. 

Well, surprise, surprise the phony investment firm up and disappeared.

There's of course North Myrtle Beach as well. 

There are lenders out there spending a ton on advertising with an army of correspondent's funneling them loans and many can very well be one and done borrowers because the loan servicing/construction admin is lousy. 

As well as the adjoining lot next to the property.

Also, you can get a HELOC on your primary residence and use the proceeds to purchase investment properties as well.
