It’s the easiest way to get a feel for being a landlord without the stress of managing rehab projects.

Run through some of the features you will need like setting up a property, moving in a tenant, receiving rent payments, and publishing online applications.Pay attention to which platform feels the best to you as you perform these functions.

Not alot of confidence in any existing rentals as consistent indciators but I feel like so many homes are 1/2 rentals and don't tell the whole story.Anyone have any insight into the Cashiers/Highlands/Sapphire/Lake Toxaway markets to share? 

Being nearby allows you to stay hands-on—you can see, touch, and fully immerse yourself in the process.There’s a lot to learn, not just about managing rentals but also about overseeing property management companies.Handling tenants and maintenance can feel overwhelming at times, but starting with a property close to home gives you the opportunity to gain valuable experience.

I saw a lot of advice to do what feels comfortable but I feel like I want to find out which one will end with more net worth.

Feel free to reach out with any accounting questions.

We have about 1/3 to 1/2 of a down saved at the moment, have a 755 Credit score, and are feeling good.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you want to chat further.

In my estimation it takes 2-5 years before a rental is broken in and feels like a good investment. 

The open floor plan and natural lighting make the space seam bright and airy while the community features like the tennis courts Pool and guard service will make you feel at home.
