@douglas snook

thank you! sounds like good advice - I am happy to not get into this rabbit hole and get a professional.  I'll look for a local collection attorney!

Hi - 

I have a former tenant who was behind on rent, and then vacated the house without notice. I now have a judgement to reclaim some of the lost $, but she has been totally silent and has not replied to any communication, nor shown up in court. 

This property is managed by a property manager, is it appropriate for the PM to call/visit her place of employment, call/email her boss etc, in order to try to get in touch? I would hate to have to go to a collections agency.  How do I find out what kind of contact is appropriate, before it is too aggressive? Is it best to just contact lawyer (for the specific state)?

Thank you

Following! I too have been researching some other sites

@Jay Faulkenberry thank you! I will check it out, though I imagine it's quite competitive to enter this market

@Alexander Knowles thanks - good info and I'll keep an eye on taxes and flood zones

@John Hovanec Thank you - I have found some county resources for online tax estimation and will dig in!

@Ashley O'Hearn Thank you for the information. Do you know if there is a way to check or estimate in advance? Does the county clerk keep this information?

Thank you

@John Hovanec Thank you. I am looking around Columbia and surrounding areas.  Good call about the taxes, can you explain what you mean with 6% tax on rental properties? Is this an estimate for the property tax for non-owner owned properties. That is quite high

Who here invests in South Carolina? If so, what are your thoughts on the market in general (and policies of being a landlord in the state). Can you share any market insights or other reading materials to help me learn about the area?

Any info on weird/quirky/difficult laws also appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi - Can anybody recommend an appraiser (or firm) to perform an appraisal in Jackson MS? It's a cash sale but buyer wants independent appraisal done. SFH in NE Jackson.

Thank you!
