Are two-family homes a good investment in Johns Island?

Two-family homes on Johns Island pay off as investments when the rental unit covers a meaningful share of the mortgage and the property still appeals to a future owner-occupant, not only another investor. Financing for a two-family differs slightly from a single-family loan, so the numbers need to be run on the specific property rather than assumed from a general rule. Brian Beatty compares recent two-family closings in Johns Island against single-family sales so a buyer can weigh the real tradeoff.
