I have run some done some numbers and yes although this limits my growth to an extent it is I think where my risk tolerance threshold is at the moment.

@John Collins unfortunately no, scammers can have people peek in the windows and get by with a dumb excuse of "it's being re-keyed" or I'm really busy and can't show it at the moment, but I've had a lot of interest and can hold it with a deposit of 1 month's rent" etc.  

The house is now worth ~250k, with property values only increasing at the moment.

[tourist stuff doesn’t count] I’m currently living in and investing in the South Carolina area, specifically the upstate “Greenville” area(at the moment).

Although, in time, I would assume this land would become more valuable and I may be able to build something on it myself (no plans at the moment).My questions are, would you buy this lot if you were me? 

However, once you start getting into the whole short term rental of the property I would recommend finding a good CPA/EA that specializes in real estate.Also if the property is your primary residence and you aren't renting it at the moment I don't see a need to put it inside of an LLC.

This is just how the market is at the moment and you have to adapt to it to play the game. 

This shows her that you have done your due diligence on working through the number, and it is not a heat of the moment. 4.

As for the property manager boondoggle... that’s a live-and-learn moment.

I currently live in NYC where the barrier to entry is too high for me at the moment.
