patience Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Quote from @Derek Wilke: Hello Everyone,I am joining Bigger Pockets today seeking professional connections.

Would love to connect with local SC real estate professionals! 

@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

But the only strategic thing about them is that you need to keep good records and hire a tax professional who knows how to maximize the tax savings from things you already paid for. 

Not sure where your research came from but what I was basing my perspective on, was from a professional working knowledge of being on the ground observing.

You’d need a professional inspection or sewer scope to confirm if the sewer line is affected.

First, let me say I’m not a lender or mortgage professional—I’m a real estate broker associate based in Miami, Florida.

@Sofia De Santos Tavarez if you haven't already, have the property professionally inspected.This should catch MOST of the structural, health & code issues - but not all.

Readers should seek professional advice.
