Feel free to let me know if I can help you.

I'm now realizing that in the state of South Carolina, the tax rate jumps 2% for rental properties to help fund public schools, a $600/mo cost that I didn't account for when using the calculators in the earlier stages.

Again, I believe this would hold true in most urban type markets.Let me know if that helps answer your question or if you have any follow-up questions to this.

As my wife is a realtor, we’ve helped several people from Bigger Pockets find their second home/STR.

This can be good because your realtor will be using them as a resource to help you plan your 1031.

@Lee Sanders, if you are interested in Worcester, I would be glad to help. 

If you ever need help running numbers or managing your property. 

It is hard to pin down specifically, but that seems to have been a factor in a few of the ARV-Appraisals that I've seen and has impacted the refinancing process.Otherwise, it has been a great market for my clients, great cash flows and repeatability which has really helped as they have scaled.

I view it as a tool in a toolbox to help you "trim the fat" off the bottom of your portfolio, so you can keep growing with new acquisitions. 

.- Cant do blanket loan as I own one of the houses in one llc and the other in another llc.Thank you for your help and I hope someone will have good options!
