Can anyone suggest beach markets in SC and/or GA that allow STRs and cash flow with 20% down? (other than Myrtle Beach) Thanks!!

Think across the river or highway from the East End, or south/north of downtown in neighborhoods that have easy access to the city and walkable downtown areas.

The south side is great opportunity, but growing up in the south side I can tell you That anything south of 31st is gonna be for a long hauler.  

@Frank Mongiello is a great choice for a real estate agent who works with real estate investors in South Florida and Central Florida

I'm not very intimate with the markets to the north and south, but I would start looking at price to rent ratios and decide what type of rental type and terms you want to invest in.

*Another Exciting Development in Charlotte*The Iron District is set to break ground next year (address 905 w morehead st.)The Iron District's strategic location offers easy connections to Uptown, South End, Wesley Heights, Freedom Drive, Camp Greene, I-77, I-277, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

I'm just south of the twin cities, but I'd think Fairbault or Owatanna might be a good place to meet since there centally located between Rochester, Mankato and Albert Lea.

But you do have the room sharing.. in Cupertino were you have a huge Asian population I know folks that will put two computer kids in each room for 4 bed house 8 techies and each paying 1k to 1500 a month.. can just about make it work since the houses are 2 mil. 

South and South East is less expensive, but you're not going to get the appreciation and my impression is it's not as good a tenant base.

In Philadelphia area there are several REIAs including Diversified Investors Group (DIG), Delco Property Investors (DPI), and South Jersey REIA (SJREIAA) just to name a few.
