As small businesses, securing funding can be a real challenge.

I'm not saying it isn't challenging or hard work because it definitely is. 

The internet makes the world very small.As far as buying out of state, one challenge I did not see any other replies mention is your occupancy. 

One of the biggest challenges today is the reluctance of homeowners to sell, which limits the available inventory.

As someone who occasionally works with these investors, I always try to emphasize the challenges that come with real estate like managing renovations, dealing with tenants, and navigating market fluctuations.

They can offer support, share resources, and connect you with other landlords who’ve faced similar challenges.

My goal is to help property owners navigate management challenges while ensuring their investments are well taken care of.I’d love to hear from experienced investors about what’s working in the Charleston market and share insights as I gain more hands-on experience.

So many variables can turn a deal sideways from 1 hour to the next - i.e. inspection findings, title issues, contracts, financing issues, taxes, dept. of buildings/local municipalities, etc.I'm glad to hear you made it through the challenges, and it sounds like you'll be able to leverage this experience as you grow your portfolio.All the best to you along your journey!

Challenges?

@Preethi S. understand your concerns about PMCs defending themselves and throwing owners under the bus.But... how is it okay for you to NOT share all the context, yet throw the PMC under the bus, and by extension all PMCs?
