my experience in SC which is basically limited to building about 35 new builds in Charleston market and funding a few flippers up by Augusta and a few flips in N.

You absolutely can, it will just limit the buyer pool a little bit!

My last visit was in 2021 and owners were limited to one guest per month.

Initially looking for small MF properties, but inventory is limited and the good deals get snatched up quick, often cash buyers.

Highlighting the strong profit potential and taking measures to address any concerns about costs, scope, or holding risks will make this an even stronger pitch.

I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t a limiting factor of showings or interest.

This tends to be more time intensive and more for someone that has a lot of time and limited income as you may find a "home run" type deal with some effort/energy.

Best decision I've ever made. 4-6% average annual appreciation rate, stable job growth, population growth, drivable to the Bay Area, close to Lake Tahoe, no state income tax, 4th lowest property taxes in the Nation, much more landlord friendly than CA, land constrained meaning limited supply, etc.

@Chirdeep BhutaniCap rates are a good starting point but are only a single measurement of an investment.
