There is much confusion about the 4% and 6% in property taxes.Non owner occupied property is taxed at 6% of the value to get the taxable value.This does NOT mean your actual property tax is 6% of the purchase price for rental property,In reality property taxes are about 2% of the purchase price for rental properties and about 1% of the purchase price for owner occupied properties.Google Greenville County Property Tax estimator and play with it and get a sense of how it works.3.

I'd estimate you'd need to rent it for $1,900.

All the hard money lenders I've worked with in the past (and the one I currently work for) deem an appraisal necessary for risk management purposes to insure AIV and ARV estimates are good.Curious how you'd manage risk without one? 

Have a future load analysis done and get estimate for what you want. 

They are month-to-month and pay below market rate.I would prefer to sell it in its current condition and estimate that a diy remodel would top out at $15k.

do you know how to estimate rehab costs?

Yes, it's possible, but you'd probably need to get approved in the next 30 days as I'd estimate a 60 day close (at least) for an investment property in the name of an LLC.

I'd love to utilize their expertise when assessing a property since they are local but I'm not sure what the general expectation is when I don't have a tangible property and I have not entered into contract to work with them yet.Some questions I have are: local regulations/permitting timeline, property's potential from their perspective, landscaping/amenities cost estimate (they also help facilitate this).

If hourly vendor vs salaried maintenance is what makes or breaks the deal...it's not a good deal.Your best estimates are likely to be from managers/owners of buildings similar to your subject property.

If so, then I'd send them the inspection report + the list of items you want repaired / estimated costs for and then use those to either negotiate the price down a bit / request seller credit for repair OR a combo of the two.
