House needs some Interior Cosmetic Work, Wood Fence Repairs and some Plumbing Work.I want to turn and run, but I recently heard where there is a Problem, there is Opportunity.I thought this might be an interesting Case Study.Thanks for the Ideas.If they owe $180k on a $210k property and its a year+ behind then they probably owe taxes and other bills as well.

Unsure about STR regulations in Charleston but I would advise you to search "arbitrage" on this forum and read up on the hundreds of pros and cons responses here before diving in to any market using the arbitrage model.

Seek out local real estate groups to get an idea and network around local regulations.

Seriously Disney for STR.Also all these regulations in CO surprise me.   

Structurally, the property is in pretty good shape EXCEPT one problem that I cannot properly assess: the plumbing will not hold pressure.

I have a similar project in Buffalo NY, however, I had to change plans when I got further into regulations.  

I’d be careful with outbound AI cold calling due to regulations.

If we become heavily restricted, what chance does the rest of the DMV have to get their own regulations that make sense?

I know life isn’t always fair, but these laws and regulations are outright oppressive to landlords.

Given the property is located in the Poconos and the property is vacant more regularly as an STR there are proactive measures  you should  be taking such as making sure there are heating sources so that the plumbing does not freeze and ensuring there are no blocks in the plumbing lines with routine checks.
