What specific markets are you considering?

Properties also have specific risks depending on if they are industrial spaces, commercial buildings or multi-family units.

Specifically, creating a video that other agents in your market can use to post. 

Looking for a STR agency/Agent or Property Manager to look for properties to rent in the greater Charleston area, specifically, Summerville, Beaufort or Mt.

I'm specifically interested in "main street" properties with a downstairs retail space, upstairs apartment(s).If you know of anyone with this sort of experience, I'd REALLY appreciate the connection.

If you need a referral to an excellent agent who works exclusively with STRs in that specific market, I can refer ours  I'm an agent, but yes I am in contact w/ one out there familiar w/ STRs. thanks for asking. 

I've not invested with 5S so I can't comment on their product and management specifically but I can say for build to rent, if you’re considering this, ask yourself: Does this fit your investment strategy and comfort level?

This would be cheaper and a better interest rate.If you want to talk through specific on the deal I am more than happy to but I think it would be easier by phone as there are always many details to talk through with each property.

@Chris Blackburn, while I can't speak to this specifically, there are a few red flags I see in your post.1: A Realtor has to be a member of the national association of realtors, an industry trade group primarily focused on your typical home buyer.  

It varies a lot depending on install method, regional area, heck even a specific properties weather exposure.
