I’ve been using platforms like Investorlift and FlexMLS to break down deals and run the numbers, and I’m always looking for ways to optimize my strategy.Right now, I’m particularly interested in South Carolina as an investment market, and I’d love to connect with others who have experience there.

I also suspect the vast majority of lenders will take exception to your mom being the 1st position lien (look up strategic default).

At this time I manage and renovate majority of all my units to keep cost low but most likely not the best use of my time although I'm skilled at it.

I'm looking for ways to invest in up-and-coming markets in Southern California, such as in San Bernardino County and Riverside County.

Most of what you are looking to do is possible.

That led me to this thread.

Next best is a square shape.  

Wishing you the best of success!

My partner and I are looking to get our first out of state property in Oklahoma City.

The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.
