For the community development dept, you'll need proper plans (architect), site survey, permits, etc. when you're ready. 

I am taking your advise, and switched my game plan to include a local agent or property manager to show the properties. 

Planning on living off of the positive income and then eventually on our investment.

Areas like Downtown, Summerville, and West Augusta are particularly desirable due to their proximity to amenities, universities, and employment centers.In terms of your preferred strategies, it would be helpful to know what type of lending you plan to use.

This is the graveyard of great ideas, plans, hopes and dreams that were never done.

We did have one, but took it down for iOS and have long-term plans to resurrect it.

On the other hand, self-education through books, podcasts, and free resources is cost-effective but requires discipline and a clear plan.

Work with a tax professional (preferably a CPA that does tax planning and not someone at H&R Block or TurboTax) to ensure you qualify.

So instead of waiting for the problem to compound until the lease is over, the plan is to replace the carpet immediately rather than try to muck with cat urine and get it 80% clean with various other solutions.
