Looking to invest in SFH in Colombia/Lexington SC
I noticed on Zillow that there were homes that were in decent condition from 100 to 200 range that could rent for 1100 to 1200 in Colombia/Lexington SC. These are hard to find these days.
I would love to meet a realtor that has invested in SFH and MFH in the metro area. Also if anyone has any recommendations for General Contractors in the area and a Property Manager I would love to be introduced.

@Kit E. I have an off market deal that might interest you. In Columbia city limits, $895 current rent and purchase price could probably be around $80k.
A general piece of advice; watch out for our property taxes. Our non owner occupant rate is super high. So if you buy a property for $130k and only get $1100-1200 in rent you will not cash flow. I usually look at a property further only if it beats the 1% rule.
(Tax estimate for a non owner occupant house valued at 130k would be roughly $3,800/year)
