Wow looks like a beautiful property!!

I would check with your CPA before setting anything up.If you are talking about referring people to local fun businesses like the boat rental, restaurants, amusement parks etc then there is no problem.

I'd like to know who else can do loan amounts under $100k.

This approach gives them 180 days to sell, rather than to buy, which can alleviate some timing pressures.Based on OP's post it sounds like what they want is: 1.

But a really good property, for what you can afford, in a good location like Charleston and wait. 

Is your attitude always like this?

I'm planning on buying a LTR at the moment, likely small multifamily. markets are hard too.

Just like any of the investment strategies here in BP, they need to evovle as the market and housing landscape evovles.

They will let you know what you can and can't do without a permit and what you are able to do yourself within the scopes of those permits.My concern is because this is a rental, if you do anything that is not to code and the tenant reports it, you will likely have some much bigger issues to deal with.Given you note this is major rehab, I tend to lean to hire most, if not all, out. 

But it's playing with fire to buy there if STR is a priority as it's very likely they will eventually start enforcing it better.
