It's a landlord friendly state & many people are moving down here - especially Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, & coastal carolina.

For a lot of investors it takes 5-10 years to transition from W2 to full time RE investor and if you don't have a passion for being a landlord, you may find yourself hating it.

Hi,As someone that moved from CT to SC, I will tell you property taxes here are very low, you would feel the same coming from NY. the 4% for primary and 6% for a rental, at least in Charleston County where I live, is not 50% more it is really x3 more , but still low compared to NY, so while others from SC may see it as high, you may feel it is a bargain.Not only that, being a landlord here is much easier, you actually have rights on your property, which is not really the case in NY/CT.I read your mortgage rates are in the 4's, expect to pay in the 8's right now, so unless your plan to pay cash, which, I personally am not sure I would do for an investment, many reasons for that, it is going to be very difficult to make money. if you are looking for appreciation rather than income, it may make sense.Hope this viewpoint from someone that moved a few years ago from similar place is helpful. 

And there are landlords who only care about maximizing profit and nothing else.

I think this actually happens all over the world, but some landlords will increase their rent to the amount that the US government is willing to spend on rent in that location.

These I have found are real, striving parents, working their butts off to provide the best housing and school system for their children.My ethos in this approach is exactly why we at LaPlante refer to them as Residents, as we consider "Tenant and Landlord" to be dated terms and rife with negative emotion.

Its a powerful platform that's free, easy to use, and specifically designed for real estate investors and landlords so I would recommend any savvy landlords to look into it.Some Features:Free and Feature-Packed: Let's face it, nothing beats free, and Baselane delivers serious value without a monthly fee.

This is the first home that I am landlording and the first tenant was amazing, I was sad to see her leave but happy because of the reason she left was a good one.I am looking for advice from you seasoned pros! 

investors can figure on 10 to 12% return on PMLs   generally they are short term 6 months to 18 months.. in my 40 plus years at PML I find most investors started as landlords then tire of it and start to diversify.

I've seen landlords live in blissful ignorance for 5-10 years due to dumb luck, then their world comes crashing down and they lose everything.I have a book, there are some in the BP bookstore, or you can check out one of my personal favorites, Every Landlord's Legal Guide by NOLO.
