Trying to make good choices and allow our tenants to also have some good choices along way.

Mountains and Beaches will always be a solid choice.

But the market shares of those alternative choices matter.

I have no choice but to go on but its just so discouraging doing all this alone.  

Both seem to be great choices :) 

- Are there specific market conditions or trends in 2024 in Charlotte or Louisville that might influence your choice?

The ultimate goal is to start scaling and eventually would expand into another state such as South Carolina for short term rentals. 

I know of a few good choices if you are looking that direction.

Hi Robin,I do a fair bit of business as a lender in South Carolina; a lot of short-term rental investors tend to focus on the Charleston & Myrtle Beach areas, but if you are looking for properties that are still reasonably priced and don't mind some renovations, Columbia can be a great choice 

Seller finance deals work when one of the following situations is present1- property can’t be financed with institutional financing usually because property is vacant (commercial property) or in bad condition2- seller will only accept an above market price for the property and by offering seller financing opens the universe of potential buyers to include people who wouldn’t qualify for financing3- seller is able to obtain a “piece of the action” from a buyer rehabbing the property and hence ultimately obtain a higher price.4- the seller has an existing low interest rate mortgage and wants to “wrap” the existing mortgage into a seller financed higher rate mortgage and pocket the differential 5- property is an investment property, seller has a low basis in the property because of depreciation, and wants to spread out the taxes due.Are you thinking of trying to purchase with 100% seller financing, or are you able to /willing to offer a down payment of say 10-20% .
