The only reason I got an LLC was to buy a commercial property because it was a requirement of the lender.

Deal Machine is good mainly for D4D. 

Luckily I had a good reason because there was massive flood damage in the home.

Know this first:  the #1 reason that landlords fail is their failure to manage to the lease (American Apartment Owners' Assn). 

Coos Bay - The main delay with application in this area is whether the property is on public utilities or has a septic system and private or public water source.

Hi,As someone that moved from CT to SC, I will tell you property taxes here are very low, you would feel the same coming from NY. the 4% for primary and 6% for a rental, at least in Charleston County where I live, is not 50% more it is really x3 more , but still low compared to NY, so while others from SC may see it as high, you may feel it is a bargain.Not only that, being a landlord here is much easier, you actually have rights on your property, which is not really the case in NY/CT.I read your mortgage rates are in the 4's, expect to pay in the 8's right now, so unless your plan to pay cash, which, I personally am not sure I would do for an investment, many reasons for that, it is going to be very difficult to make money. if you are looking for appreciation rather than income, it may make sense.Hope this viewpoint from someone that moved a few years ago from similar place is helpful. 

I have seen some offers from Main Street come through, which is one of the biggest hedge fund type buyers.I've seen offers from Offer Pad and Opendoor in the last few weeks as well.

No reason stated I had great credit score cash on hand excellent properties.

Exactly the reason to have an Architect on your team to join in on these conversations ESPECIALLY in existing renovations in older homes.

That way you'd get local contacts and there's no reason for anyone to hoard their insurance agent so they should be forthcoming.
