I have a decent amount in retirement accounts but I'm not sure if it's a smart move to leverage those. 

But, you don't have to be my age to study the negative effects of rent control, eviction moratoriums, forced section 8, etc.. 

I work with CSSI who are the nation's premier engineer-based cost segregation firm with over 45k is completed studies. 

Our cleaning fee is a little more than our cleaning costs to account for consumables  By doing things like this we exceed expectations.

Make sure you're accounting for the property tax rate differential for investment properties in SC - if you're going off of primary residence tax rates for the property (4% ratio), then the investment property rate (6% ratio) will likely be about 3x that amount.

@Rob Everetts, I forgot to add that I cashed out my retirement account.  

Thats generally what studies pointed out in the past as the effect of rent control.

Then look for software that solves those problems for you.When I first started managing, I needed software that could simplify accounting and track work orders.

So my escrow account could technically be negative for some of the year if, for example, taxes are collected halfway through the year but everything would be settled by the end of the year. 

Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to attend any seminars or classes (due to budgeting issues), and I can't study for a real estate agent liscense and join a club until I'm 18.
