I am looking for any local investor's, property managers, and agents  down in SC.

Have yourself own an interest in the LLC, and have another entity you control own an interest and be the manager.  

Not impressed with other large institutional managers who are very light with boots on the ground and in many ways have the attidude they are assisting you in managing the property, not managing it for you.

Now we are considering creating a Holding LLC that will be managed and owned by both of us.

We bought a 55-unit last year in the same market, a market we've been investing in for seven years.How we found itOur property manager brought us this opportunity (and the three previous as well).

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

It’s always tough to hear when someone has a negative perception of our program and my knowledge.Addressing Your ConcernsSoftware and Support: Our Deal Driven software is designed to help our partners find and manage deals effectively.

Thx for sharing and congrats that is a ton of success, @Eric BilderbackLike all investments there is risk to manage.  

If you can find an investment that pays for itself, you won't be so nervous about investing.I also recommend you educate yourself on how to manage well.
