Someone else pays your mortgage.

Explicitly tell them what you're paying for it so you can get the exact number.Also, we do a 25% property tax relief in SC under the ATI bill - so if you fill out that form, you will get a reduction for 5 years.Info below:ATI Real Property Tax ExemptionSouth Carolina law now allows a partial exemption from taxation of up to 25% of an “ATI fair market value” that is the result of anAssessable Transfer of Interest.

Having to go see a piece and pay for transport makes used less attractive. 

I don’t know when an LLC starts to pay off if you don’t have any partners.

You may have heard that staging your home properly can make a big difference when you sell your house, but what exactly is home staging, and is it really worth your time and effort?

Great tenant that always pays on time - been there for 5 years Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

@Heather Bailey When house hacking with a separate rental unit, ensure proper insurance by obtaining landlord or short-term rental coverage tailored for Airbnb activities, in addition to your primary residence policy.

There are cheap PMs, but I think you end up paying for that in the end. 

Also never pay any upfront fees and go with a trusted lender who closes through a title company.
