@Bryan Larsen 2 year pay off acceleration seems a bit short But that’s OK if your plan includes either selling it or refinancing with in that timeframe.

Thanks for the advice so far, The lot is around 7400 so not very big and in California, rebuilding would probably be a long slow process.

I am slow rolling offering full time virtual assistants in my company. 

Slow sinks and toilet issues likely won't be a good enough justification to put rents in escrow, but water intrusion and pest issues might be. 

Things are slowing down.

I am very surprised at how quickly rents have accelerated, and some owners haven’t adjusted to the market (myself included on some units).

It's currently for sale again: 2426 Brigger Hill Road, Wadmalaw Island, SC 29487The growth on both islands is slowed by poorly rated schools and limited road access.

Our goal is to sell in 6-12 months for $1.8M, our only concern is that this market overall is a little sleepy and slow.

This will be a slow deal (12-18 Months) as we wait for units to turn over to renovate them, but with the additional income, barring local cap rates (~7%) stay similar to what they are now or get better, we plan to refinance our purchase and reno capital out, while holding onto a $3,500+/month cash flowing asset in a ever increasing trendy area..

Your biggest challenge is not class, it's size.  18 units is too small for onsite management and a different business model than SFR management companies have (no apartment vendors, slow unit turns, retail pricing on maintenance).
