Yet to be determined but hope to attract more desirable tenants.

Ohio is looking more attractive for what I want to do.

A property that is a bit older and in need of a refresh can often be purchased for a great price, since many buyers are attracted to newer homes and communities.

The Myrtle area isn't known so much for it's schools/colleges, but they sure as hell attract a lot of vacationers and the prices there are MUCH better than here in Charleston.

We are listing a flip soon and looking for alternative exit strategies in the event we cannot sell by the time our loan terms.

I got burnt out doing it pretty quickly personally, as renting by the room tends to attract transient-types and has high turnover, although it was great in the beginning when I was living there with friends and was in my early 20's before wife and kids.

Do I have any alternative options for how to fix my leaking roof?

In addition to conventional financial products, that means that real estate, private note transactions, stock of privately held entities, precious metals, cryptocurrencies and a whole lot of other alternatives are available.A specialty IRA referred to as self-directed is required for alternative asset investing.  

There is no state code that prohibits that; except if you put a clause in your lease.Our goal always is to attract and retain long term tenents that just coast for years on a mtm lease.
