I don't know if South Carolina has those or not... but the rest of this explanation should still be valid.  

All valid points that help me rule out HML.

:)As for LTR rental terms, usually we sign a 1 year lease where tenants are expected to pay Electric and Gas if applicable, while the owner typically pays water/sewer/trash with the city. 

Electric: is the easiest to split, but may require holes cut in walls to separate the units.Gas: gas lines aren't as flexible as wires, but it can usually be done affordably.Water: most cities will NOT install additional water meters on a property.

@Ryan Johnston I was trying to validate your sales price.  

Yes, I still did my own due diligence but PPR saved me hours of additional research.Perhaps the biggest reason I ended up working with PPR is because of the BiggerPockets community validation.

Only a few simple documents are required, including a valid passport, birth certificate, and proof of address.

Key points include:Security Deposits: In Indiana, there’s no legal cap on security deposits, but you must return the deposit (minus any valid deductions) within 45 days of the tenant vacating the property.Evictions: Follow the formal process carefully.

There's an aboundance of data to validate that case.
