Hello everyone,

Relatively new RE investor here. I am looking to buy another property and I have the opportunity to work with a cash provider that is willing to put down a significant percentage of the money so we can buy the property with cash. His recommendation was to wait a year for rates to fall and refinance the house so he can get some of the cash equity out. 

Any thoughts on a transaction like that? Are there any disadvantages to buying all cash? 

Would it be better if we split the total money into 3-4 properties and levered them up? One consideration is that the market we are looking at is pretty hot so properties fly off if the offers are not all cash. Wondering if there is a way to offer all cash/get a mortgage right away and use the remaining cash for other cash offers after. 

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Very helpful, thank you both

Thank you Diana let's connect. 

Those all look amazing. Do you put a lot of work on these properties and is your market students?

A little late to this but very helpful. A couple of questions:

1) How and what is the process to file the ATI exemption

2) As a non-resident, do you always pay 6% vs 4%?

3) The value of my house is being re-assessed this year. How easy and what is the process to appeal that increase?

Hey guys, I bought a house in South Carolina this year and I was told the value of the house is being re-assessed this year for property taxes. I know there is an ATI exemption that reduces the taxable value by ~25%.

Anyone else went through this and can advise on how to move forward with this? I tried the county office but nothing helpful

Got it will try him, thank you

Are you investing in multi-family in Cola? There is an interesting listing I would like to get your view on

The house is a 4bd/2bath close to campus - mostly looking to fix indoor walls (dents, cracks etc), windows, and tidy up the crawlspace? 

Have you used any good companies in the area that you would recommend?

Thank you both! And what are some resources you used when creating those lists? Is this information usually publicly available? And what is the best way to sort and filter it before feeding it into these call center servcies?

Hello everyone,

I am relatively new to RE Investing and currently own a house in Columbia, SC. I manage it from NY where I live full time and I am trying to make a few key connections in the SC area that could help me manage the house remotely. 

I am looking to make some fix-ups to the house this summer so wanted to see if any recommendations for good contractors / handymen / repair companies that I could hire. My goal is to keep investing in the area so would be more of a long-term partnership.

Any advice on how to best hire / monitor / manage work done on a property remotely would be greatly appreciated!
