One reason is the county is simply an agent for the State real property tax's are state funds then deligated back to the counties.

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.

We (the buyers) notified our agent that the property must also be move-in-ready.We received images of the interior and exterior which showed the property in move-in ready condition/what appeared to be minimal to no deferred maintenance issues, the listing said "property inmove-in condition/turn-key".

I would do this first before engaging an agent unless you are extremely active.

You can also follow Richmond-focused real estate groups on social media and LinkedIn, and work with local agents specializing in investment properties to stay on top of deals.

Your reporting on your federal return shows whatever recognized gain is recognized. 

I am a full-time Real Estate Professional (Agent with almost all other income coming from active and passive RE investments).

I’m eager to connect with fellow investors, agents, and local market experts who can offer insights and share experiences.I’m excited about building relationships within this community and would love to learn more about your perspectives on the market.

We also would like to see if we can find an awesome agent to help us with this out of state investing journey.
