This property doesn’t strike me as an ideal rental of any kind.But perhaps, you could reach out to BMW or Michelin as one of their executives may be brought to Greenville for a year or two assignment.

Our goal as a family is to move outside the US in the next 3-4 years and live half way around the world for the foreseeable future (5+ years). 

As a local we enjoy the tradewinds maybe once every year.

And then there are others that are just pump and dump due diligence schemes.. now when i googled this company their web page came up .. but there is also complaints and a rip off report link.. so i would read all that stuff first.. take it with a grain of salt.then look deep within and ask yourself if with your business acumen and 2 to 3 years of tax returns.. and your fico and your cash reserves can you do a 1 plus deal.

To give you some perspective on what those tax increases can look like here are some examples of the changes based on some of my properties that I own in the city:$4096 -> $5522 (+1426)$3850 -> $5516 (+1666)$3835 -> $6283 (+2448)These are only some examples, but all of the properties that I own have increased in its tax assessed value, therefore drastically increasing the taxes per year and decreasing annual cash flow.While tax assessments are normal it seems that this is a very drastic effort to recuperate losses.

They are in the home buying process but may not find a home until next year.

My criteria is as follows:1- Primary goal is appreciation over the next 5/6 years, cashflow positive preferred but cashflow neutral at a min.2- Preferred portfolio - Duplex & SFH in TX or Duplex each in TX and FL.3- Area of interest - I-35 corridor by Austin TX and Cape Coral/Lehigh Acres FL.4- Focus is on new construction properties for obvious no immediate maintenance needs and Developer incentives on interest.I know Austin is a no brainer but I would like to get your expert opinion on Cape Coral/Lehigh acres FL area.

My goal is to invest in my first STR before the year ends.

The botched job was at least a year prior before they urged him to do anything.

Or are the lenders wanting to see a full year of them on your taxes before they'll count the income?
