Hey Pradip, I have a few different PMs I've worked in or around Columbia, SC that I like:

Cantey & Co, Patton Properties, and Columbia Property Management.

@Christos Kappatos sorry I missed this.

What did you end up doing here?

@Peter Shah

Carter Commercial in Columbia could probably do it. They have done a lot of commercial appraisals for me. Usually are around ~$2500-$3500.

High cash flow, high management niche.

@Peter Shah where in South Carolina is it?

@Sam Leon I'm not sure if this 100% answers your question, but many cities (especially near colleges) have an ordinance limiting the maximum number of unrelated persons.

In Columbia, South Carolina that number is 3. The current Governor for the state went to the state Supreme Court over this. And lost.

So, in Columbia, even if you wanted to rent to 4 roommates, it would not be allowed.

@Felicia Walker no problem

Additionally, you may be able to get away with a rooming house in RG-2, C-1 or C2 zoning

@Felicia Walker just a heads-up.

The City of Columbia has a max 3 unrelated people (per unit) ordinance.

My recommendation

1. Call the City and confirm whether or not this would be in the case in your neighborhood.

2. If it is, ask if you can apply for a boarding house exemption.
