(One caveat: If you happen to have the cash to put down outside of a HELOC, that's always a better option.)We used a HELOC on our first primary residence, a condo in Denver, to put a down payment on our next investment.

These factors make it an attractive option for your investment criteria, balancing cash flow and appreciation prospects in a stable economic environment.

I've been sending out a cleaner every other week and just wondering if that's standard across other travel nurse units@Akhil Patel - I think adding the option for cleaners is fine (they work 1:1 with the cleaners and book them), but I don't mandate cleaners on my property.

From what I can see this is not an option, the listing agent will reject this immediately.

It is not separately metered and right now I don't see adding a meter as an option (cost/not zoned for MF). 

It might be worth exploring financing options to see if you can make it work.

I cover both Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle and would be happy to help you identify some cash flowing options within your budget. 

Duplex is still a possibility but with the amount of the loan (250K) I got, the non-SFH option is a little limited.

I've had several bids for similar work in the past and pipe bursting seems to be a fairly expensive option.

Keeping the PM in-house through your turnkey provider is the safest option moving forward IMO.At the end of the day, they have your best interests at heart and want to do their best to deliver in real life the returns promised to you on paper.The grass isn't never greener on the other side and for another PM company you will just be a number and they will look at margin and making as much profit is as possible from each client.In-house PM through your trusted turnkey property is offers a different approach and in many instances comes with a reduction in misc fee's and costs.Just my opinion and wishing you much success
