I'm a very conservative investor and may look through a hundred deals a month, and at the end of the year only invest in 4-5.

I have one tenant who snuck in a dog (I dont allow dogs) and has not paid their $50 portion in 5 months OR the $45 a month pet payment I added when they snuck the dog in.

We charge the resident $45 a month for that so it's not a client charge. 

Your biggest issue with 5 bedrooms is that 50% of your income is going towards the mortgage, I do not believe banks would even lend to you with a DTI above 40-45 (mortgage + other debts).

Hey Jon,very similar paths on this side as well. 45 years old still running a business but we have 18 LTR's and 2 Higher end STRs. 

I'm staying in one outside of Asheville right now and I'm in love with the concept and really considering it on my 45 Acre plot of land  

The bill is due in about 45 days.I'm not sure what county you're in, but here's a link to Charleston County's form.

One theory is that the investors see population increasing in these areas and are willing to deal with the ridiculous local laws This actually isn’t even necessary true, the placest with the biggest per capita housing production or “investment” is in the sunbelt, the expensive cities produce a shockingly low amount of housing, obviously zoning laws play a huge role in that as well, but even when you looking up institutional investment in existing properties it’s mostly in the sunbelt, most people who own big buildings in hcol areas just bought them decades ago when they were much cheaper, even D.C. has has like a 4-5 fold increase in value in some areas in the last 15 or so years.

They're asking 97 bucks/ mo and .45 per record for batch tracing.

And as long as the purchase of the replacement property meets the timing requirements of all of the sales (identified on the 45 day list and purchased within 180 days of the first sale) then you will defer all tax from both sales.
