@Justin SuttonAs a private lender you will probably do just as good or better.

If you find better ROI, the chances of appreciation, which is where real wealth and freedom happen, is very low. 

I like it better, but the tricky part is turnover.

if anybody knows a better way I’d like to know. 

I currently live in Charleston and am a fishing guide by trade so I have a good base understanding of how water moves through salt marsh areas, but it'd make me feel a lot better about this purchase if I could have an expert look at it.

The pool, I can't speak for since in my market of Cincinnati, OH, pools tend to hurt values, but we only get about 2-3 months of use due to climate.Back to bed and bath, while typically more beds and baths can help value, if you are just cutting up the property and making everything too small to be useable and/or you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other, you could very well be better off not adding it.  

Having a community is so important -- there is no better way to learn new things and help each other than a place where new and seasoned folks can chat it out and connect on something that can change your life!

It helps me track those expenses better and ensures I have the funds when needed.

The black appliances look cleaner after use and getting black appliance paint to touch it up blends better than trying to touch up white appliances.Another option is to try to rent it without appliances and give the tenants a one time credit for bringing their appliances and then they are responsible for it for the duration of their lease.  

And/or are you willing to go through a potentially more rigorous underwrite to get better terms (possibility, depending on what you've got on your end).
