@John Kirtley Have you ruled out Myrtle Beach? 

I don't want to violate any of the self-promotion rules on this thread by specifically linking or name-dropping, but it's from a data analytics platform I am working on specifically built for tracking construction, debt, and ownership activity in the Philadelphia region.I will be posting more detailed insights soon. 

Buying an out of state rental property from a realtor, wholesaler or off facebook or zillow etc as opposed to from an operation or turnkey provider who has an active, substancial, and effective boots on the ground team or teams to support you after you close on the sale. 

It's just a rule of thumb, and only tells part of the story when buying a rental property.

In the meantime we are talking to the property manager to find other STR's in the area so we can support a fair market STR rent. 

Start small, be patient, and stay connected with local meetups and online investor communities for support.

My vision is to bring together motivated people to support one another and potentially form an LLC for group projects as we grow.If this is something you might be interested in, I’d love to chat more and see how we can help each other on our journeys.

Creative ApproachesIf the organization is hesitant about a sale, consider proposing creative terms:Seller Financing: The non-profit could retain an income stream from the property by financing the purchase.Partnership or Lease-Purchase Agreement: Offer to lease the property with an option to buy, giving them time to evaluate the relationship.Donation or Support: Consider including a donation or offering support for their mission as part of the deal.
