Now, I’m paying myself in the lower 5 figure range after product cost, marketing, employees, and reserves.Do I double down and open a new business in the same market, or play it safe and start investing the cash on hand?

I haven't played around with Pricelabs yet.

I am also playing around with Stessa!  

Question 2: How does deprecation recapture play into this?

Back when I played in this sandbox there were 2 separate tax sales when a property was delinquent. 

you already live in a state were investors buy.. not sure why U would wonder about.SC in Charleston particular is very robust.. however do check prop tax's  the play there is LEGAL air bnband student housing..

Hi @Rocky Rock@Frank Wong is dead-on,  that your process is more important the actual market - people are making money in every single city right now. 

I still think someone can play the low end in this city, unless the rental market is soft.   

I'm a Cowboys fan but definitely been watching y'all play throughout the season.

I've been playing around on Mashvisor, using their calculator I can't seem to find a way to bring in monthly profits on a mortgaged rental property. so I guess my question is, what's better?
