I currently own a single-family 3/2 in South Philly and the mortgage is about $1,900 a month.

I own a single family home and have tenants that have stayed for two years.

Double and triple check your purchase price with your renovation and holding costs and try to hit a single rather than a homerun to start.

It can be really smart to get a good accountant that likes tax strategy and look at all investments in your life. 

Inflation is already under control, when adjusting for the non-smart way that housing is accounted for. 

This is a typical operating expense you need to be accounting for in a cold weather market like Cleveland.

@Nancy Benderi'm a Realtor, and to my knowledge the only units in Keowee Key that allow STR's are townhomes- not single family.

If this will be your first investment property, I would recommend starting off with a turnkey single-family, rather than a full on BRRRR. 

I invest in a lot of cities, so I'm not speaking with just a single experience; these agents are pushy, don't care about your best interest, they just don't want to spend too much time and not see a deal get done.

Especially with a single family home.
