I am fine living in it for the first year or two and have a current roommate that will rent from me for as long as we live there, so I am not too worried about negative cash flow in the first year.

Has it been successful?

My main goal is cash flow right now since I have recently retired and the money coming in each month is important to me.I would love to connect with other investors in the area and get some advice from people who have had success in Charleston. 

Seek investors who share your values and can contribute to your long-term success.One useful trick is presenting the offering rather than directly asking them to invest.

Boston Properties is currently looking to reduce the residential and retail footprint of Reston Next, and increase the office development, after the success of the first two office towers that became available in 2021, now being occupied by Fannie Mae and Volkswagen.

Hope this helps and that you have great success!!

3) There may be personal use of the property which would mean that you or your partner may not get tax benefits for the share of the unit where you are living in.For a successful partnership, the total partnership should have Experience, Money, Time.What skill set are you bringing and what is your partner bringing?

here's another anecdote. it's often stated that short term rentals are contributing to housing unaffordability. 

If so, how long are you committed to buy gas from a particular supplier and at what rate? 

I have family in Westchester, northern NJ and Long Island.
