I plan to live in the house for two years, renovating some.

Im looking into a home to flip, but the kitchen has two different kinds of cabinets.

Started in January 2024 and targeting 10 doors by July!

If it is a larger university, they may also have visiting students or faculty who need shorter term rentals (ie a month or two).

I live out on Kuehne Rd and have Laurel Ridge winery on one side of me and Two Barns Vineyard that is owned by Domain serene   (probably butchered how you spell it) is above me.

My main concern is the condition of a house through two extreme winters.  

Besides finding a good investor friendly real estate agent, if you're strapped for cash, then door knocking is a cost effective way to land some off-market opportunities.

It is the equivalent of crashing your car then trying to buy insurance to fix the car after the fact.A home warranty or homeowners insurance policy will not pay for mold because mold is a maintenance issue.You didn't say what is wrong with the garage - if it's a broken door opener that is typically covered on a home warranty.My experience is mixed with home warranties and I can 100% tell you your satisfaction comes down to the local trade person that shows up.The home warranty company does not employ trades - they contract them locally at a fixed rate for the work performed sort of like how car mechanics are paid. 

Two big differences between Multifamily and SFH: Financing and deal flow.

I brokered one just off of King st in Downtown charleston.. sold i think for about mid 800s and its a two unit the owner says she makes about 5k a month on it net.
