Considering you can get 8% on average in the stock market and it takes no work and is extremely liquid, the extra 2% is not compelling enough to switch to real estate.I assume you are talking owning a property outright.  

Here's some details from the city:https://www.staugbch.com/citym...The areas I recommended have little to no restrictions on short term rentals and would make a much better investment if you're hoping to rent your home when not using it.

They have their own in house management company in the area that you don't have to use but they will share in detail what they are seeing in their markets with you to make a better decision.

I overlooked including these details on Schedule E when I initially filed my taxes.Any guidance on these matters would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to discuss in more detail feel free to reach out. 

I had a tenant tell me when I was considering it that he prefers a curved curtain rod because he is a big guy and needs the extra room.

Contact me and I can walk you through some other details and maybe look at some other options.

Or just subtract $ for the extra size..... 

DOB (on photo ID)**I would highly recommend using a tenant screening service so that you have a full application and ability to provide details to a collection agency.

There's a lot more details that we'd need to be able to give more helpful advice.
