@James Colgan there are tight regulations around airbnb's in Savannah and restricted to a small portion of historic area.

@Michael Margarella, where can I find self storage vacancies historical data?

historically rates adjust downward about 11 months after their high, which we haven't reached yet as the fed is thinking about another bump.  

I will say that the returns generally are a lot better in the historic areas like Riverside, Avondale, and San Marco.

I also agree with several historical truths about condominium investments that do not occur with SFRs.

@Shree KandruBeginning investors need to STOP believing all the fluff about rental investing, especially with the overheated real estate market trending to historic norms.

I wanted to post here and see if anybody has a sample lease contract they have used and has historically worked well for them.

This is not what you will find at LOwe's or H-D . . . find a siding company that does old homes and see what they offer.4) Final pitfall we stumbled into was make sure the house is not in a designated historic district or is on the national register . . . one we did was and it made any changes we wanted to make 10 times as hard. 

Historical performance could prove me wrong but I think Josh’s statement is spot on.

I have historically paid about 2.2% of loan amount in loan closing fees.
