What's your plan for a Syracuse STR in the Winter?

. - Incentivize supply of new homes, NOT demand (as the current Administration housing plans do).

While this initial policy allowed me to secure conventional financing, I'm now in the process of planning and executing renovations to enhance the value and appeal of my home, with the goal of switching to a different insurance policy after completing the remodel and being refunded the unused portion of the escrow.

@Ryan Runchey If you are planning to scale up in the future, then QBO is a good option and you can start with the lower tier subscription for a single property, you can upgrade later when you acquire more properties.

What kind of investing are you looking to do, and are you planning to do it in Columbia, SC?

If you plan on renting it when you exit the project instead of selling, you could do a cash out refi at that point using something called a DSCR loan.

Its important that you go with the plan that makes the most sense for your facts and circumstances  

If these are the problems you're having in REI, you're not fit for REI.This is why the cash flow only mechanism of investing will rear it's ugly head.

I also  plan on doing a check in check out sheet similar to that of our long term rental in case any damages they would be liable as well.   

I plan to research more on the MTR space.
