Even in up and coming neighborhoods, you can find vacant run down houses and turn a "quick" 20-50% return.

Let those be the backbones of your downside, weigh it out then hit the ground running.

My main job is running my investment holding company, so I'm familiar with public and private market investments but new to RE. 

Have run across this issue several times when getting referrals from other real estate investors.

This will be the largest bond sale in US history coming up which on top of the debt we are also running as well - if we have so much debt to sell I do not see rates going down, I think they may rise (or stay around where they are at).

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.
