The 'surrounds' have maintained normal tenant processes for the most part.I know lots of folks are pushing you for a PM, but if you are eager to learn and do some research and put alot of energy into placing a great tenant with background checks and vetting their references, etc, managing your own properties can be a great way to learn. but if you have a low pain tolerance and are limited on time, Id go PM route

It snapped off vertically down the middle when he went to the kitchen in the dark in the middle of the night and when he turned to walk back, he walked into a little cupboard door which pushed it back against an edge of the wall, which caused the wood to snap.

@Timothy Frazier Yes, the only reason to use HML as a down payment is if the property is "mostly turnkey" AND you don't have the funds to renovate AND you have strong CMA comps from a real estate agent that supports that the fact that you are buying a property that is under valued AND your renovations would push that so that you could refinance.

I would push for very low or no money down but having a Realtor that needs to have their fee paid it may still not work.Look up the owner if possible through truepeoplesearch.com and call them up directly.

But to your point, a current project I’m about to start, I can tell you I had to push back on ARR as the comps used by lenders were entirely outside of what I’m bringing to market.

Surround yourself with a support system and keep pushing forward.4.

I love the Myrtle Beach area.Condos are a dime a dozen so there is stiff competition which pushes prices down.HOAs have their own problems which I always avoid.I would try and buy a beachfront house or 1st row house 

And while these groups help you a lot with the actual strategy, the best part is the network you'll gain which pushes you 10 times further then googling all the free stuff.
