I would have to own the new investments outright in SC if I stick to single family rentals.

While JV's can be more all encompassing, generally they are used for a single deal at a time.

For those that have yet to do this, it takes less than 10 minutes if you are a single member llc - just make sure to have a copy of some sort of identification. we did all of ours .. and our attorney contacted us as well and let us know to get them done or he would do them for us. 

Is it a single-family home or condo?

For example, my client just closed a 3/2 single family house for $160k that was already rented at $1900/month and near turnkey and in a super desirable residential area.

I don't know a single person who regrets starting out with a quad and house hacking.

Single adult + 2 kids2.

Currently I am working on 2 single family homes, with the help of my realtor and mentor, Gloria N Gear. 

Eventually, I’d like to purchase a single-family home as well.Thanks again for your valuable insights! 

You can get solid cash-flowing single families in the 90-120k price range and duplexes in the 130-180k price range.
