In my personal experience,  the "proper formation" was too costly and too cumbersome for a small fish like me. 

He drives a beat up old pickup truck and likes to hunt and fish.

You could cook cabbage or fish frequently so the place stinks but is still clean - a real turnoff for a buyer who plans to live in the house, but not for a investor.

A Home Depot bucket is 5 gallons.  100 gallons is a large fish tank.  1000 gallons would go on the back of a truck, or be a septic tank. 

Sounds like it’s a tough balance to find a location popular enough to help with occupancy but not so popular that you’re a small fish in a big pond.

But the fishing is awesome.

I also am aware of local events like Clemson Graduation, football games, fishing tournaments etc that drive demand and price for our Lake house.

If nothing else find out who some of the big players are and reach out to them and ask what their biggest problem is and how you can best be a solution to them, a great place to start can be as a helpful hand and learn everything you can from that "big fish". 

These were largely sourced pre-CV19, so eat the fish and spit out the bones.Try local community bank or credit union for investment properties.

I just get the feeling they have much bigger fish they aim to please.
