When a 40-year-old furnace goes out, she gets vendors to piece it together with duct tape and kicks the can down the road a little longer.

It’s a nice place and I hope to rent it out weekly from time to time to help cover the mortgage ($1,850/mo w/ taxes, etc.)I just found out from a personal conversation with the owner that a Lake House down the road will be going for sale and I was given the option to buy it off market.

You may be able to "buy in" as a partner on certain properties, then buy him out entirely down the road.

Turning your primary residence into an investment property down the road is a great strategy.

Having a PM that knows what to do will help but it might be a rough road ahead of you.

I am an active builder in downtown Charleston SC and talk about small lots and roads only 20 feet wide logistics to build are brutual..

This will provide a good outline/road map of what you can focus on for your first acquisition.

Are you looking to increase cash flow with every sale and purchase or keep building equity to buy a larger property down the road?

The can just got kicked down the road. 

I’m excited to be here and meet new people, learn about real estate investing, and hopefully share some success stories down the road!
