I am new to the multi-family investment business (have done several single-family homes).  Given this, I’m not familiar with the lending options and associated differences, benefits, limitations, etc. associated with them.

Does anyone have any suggestions for my reading pleasure and to help me become more educated and informed in this area? Thanks in advance for all the suggestions and feedback!

Thanks everyone!

I just came across some information about the MLS clear cooperation rules. In talking with a couple agents to date (SC and TN), I'm getting mixed messages regarding its applicability to off-market properties.

Does anyone have any insight as to how these rule affect (if at all) an agent/broker from sharing information about an off-market deal without it being formally listed?  Or is this something that if it is being shopped off-market and the seller never intends to list that the point is moot?

Any further information would be great!  Thanks everyone.

Thank you!

I just moved to Charleston, SC and am looking for the names of great property managers and/or management companies in Greenville and Charleston who I might work with here in South Carolina.  Given their importance in the investment business, referrals and recommendations are greatly appreciated.  Could save a lot of time and headaches for sure!

Thanks in advance for the responses and feedback.

I just moved to Charleston, SC and am looking for the names of any realtors and/or brokers in Greenville and Charleston who I might work with here in South Carolina.  Prefer someone with investment experience (personal and professional). Any referrals, suggestions or information is greatly appreciated!

Thanks Rachel. Are all the flips and rehabs you do in OH? Or do you work elsewhere? How long have you been doing it? Do you buy and hold any?

Yes sir. I moved out of state to South Carolina. IL taxes were cost and income-prohibitive in my opinion. Looking in TN, SC, UT, ID, NC and GA. Always looking for opportunities though. 

Geneva, IL. About 40 miles west of Chicago. Had I listed 30 days earlier (I waited for our baby to be born), it would have sold for $350k+. Oh well. 

My brother did one there, too. He and I are now looking for buy and hold rental opportunities (single family and multi-unit). Would love any suggestions. 

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
