@Kit E.

Is it in Richland County? Here is the link to the county website and a calculator that helps you figure it out.  You will need your tax district for a more accurate estimate (Columbia city limits is 1cc).  I have some ways to help you offset the tax burden here if you are interested.  Let me know.

I'd be interested to see some details on the types of listings you are seeing.  Market remains tight here.  

Having said that, there are plenty of people buying here and deals to be found...

@Phillip Vera Do you think we can help @Aaron Oetting via Benebu?

@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) 

@Brian Goff @Andrew R. Lucas I'm curious who both of you use.  I have a pretty good one I used for my personal home but I'll need some more work done and I'd love to hear some other suggestions. 

I'm still working on it.  Meeting with someone this weekend.  I'll follow this thread and post here if I have any luck. 

@Marilyn H. I am a real estate agent in Columbia and have buyers looking.

Got ya- Coinmach is the only one I have experience with.  Seems like they and a couple of other large companies have that market cornered. 

Are you talking about laundromats? Could you elaborate on what you do and what you are looking for? I may be able to help. 

Hey @Michael Lee do you want to start our own meetup? October 9th around 12 just opened up on my calendar
