Investment Info:Single-family residence other investment.

Tenants may not occupy residence without utility service except during brief interruptions beyond your control.

If no one but owner-occupants can STR... then that should mean opportunity for owner-occupants who STR their primary residences in many jurisdictions.- Large remodels or construction projects (Live in Flip) can be self-managed, worked on directly, and the value add, after 2 years, is largely tax free up to certain limits. - Many areas around the country allow for ADU Construction - house-hackers enjoy similar benefits to remodeling projects by being naturally on-site for ADU construction. 

I don't mean to throw shade at my fellow Illinois residents, but I'm quite bearish on this state for the long-term. 

There is risk with this approach that the tenant can have short residence or leave in Nov to January.  

All calculations suggest great investment for 4 bed 3 bath in good school zone, however once the tax estimator goes from $2200 to $9500 due to lose of tax credit from not being a primary residence it hard to see how to get property in SC.

Most would agree that taking money from you primary residence is not a good idea at all. 

Quote from @Richa Wardhan: Regular lender financing, we have paid off 70% of our mortgage on the primary residence so we were loaned money without any issue. 

I'm a passive investor and these properties are in a different state than I reside in so I'm not there in person often.
