STR Agent/Operator in Charleston
All:
I'm based out of Columbia, SC but looking for a referral in Charleston.
A friend is looking to buy STR condo downtown on the peninsula. Hoping to connect him w/ an agent and/or operator that specializes in STR in CHS. He is qualified buyer & already has a place on Kiawah.
(I realize the Short Term Rental Overlay is highly restrictive & want to connect him w/ somebody who knows laws/regs well)
Thanks

Thanks @Lindsey Johnson!
@Will Gaston I can take a run at it. Essentially, it has to be your primary residence anywhere in the City of Charleston. Even the STR overlay only allows non-owner occupied full time STRS in properties that are commercially zoned or have commercial applications. Depending on where he lives or what his plan for the property would be, it could be a challenge downtown. There are some exceptions, but it takes quite a bit of finesse with the City/County if it's an outlier.
