Hello BP community,I am an out-of-state landlord with a rental property in Bluffton SC.

the midwest has lower price points than other areas of the US, sure, but it also comes with its own challenges - for example, very old housing stock, lots of deferred maintenance, and tremendous demand for the best properties."

Bryan,This is one of the biggest challenges when investing in C/C+ areas, and it’s even more amplified in D-class neighborhoods.

I am an out of state Investor and I know a lot of you live and invest in St.

I am just starting out and have 1 STR.Would love hear the pros/cons that you took into consideration when deciding how you want to manage your STR.Self managing STR properties, from afar, while maintaining other employment, is only a possibility because of the new technology made available in the last 10 - 15 years.  

In many markets section 8 is higher than market rate. and investors need that extra return to mitigate the risk of sec 8 tenants generally speaking.

Also the ability to repay -  your source of income. 

Why, because of the main stable coins, it is the only one on of the largest exchanges, Binance, will NOT do a 1:1.So, you're best bets would be those like USDC, TUSD, GUSD, BUSD.

Are there a lot of student rentals in the area?  

One of the first deals I had (multi in an up and coming area) my buyer was paying cash and the deal was solid.
