Couple questions for you, as I am an agent and aspiring investor.

 I am looking for any local investor's, property managers, and agents  down in SC.

Networking with Canadians who’ve invested in the U.S. and finding good local agents or property managers will also help a lot.

So just check your local and federal laws about how you handle ESA and don't worry about "service dogs."

With high home prices, rising mortgage rates, and intense market competition, securing a property has become increasingly difficult.A recent survey found that over 60% of real estate agents reported instances where Gen Z buyers lost out on homes due to delayed decision-making, missed appointments, or hesitation in making offers.

Connect with lenders, agents, property managers, contractors, attorneys etc.3.

You can view homes with the help of a buyer's agent without any down payment required.

Working with an agent should help me there, correct?  

The property was listed as a probate, so I had to go through my agent.

Quote from @Jeff Sanders: Personally coming from an agent/investor in CA, I always get a quote from a broker of mine and make sure I am knowledgeable with the fees/costs.
