Just started our own firm investing in and managing property in our relatively new (~5 years now) home in Charleston, SC.Happy to be a resource to anyone and look forward to making quality local connections!

It's 400 sqft and high end finishes.

It will be remote, but since you live there now, you probably already have connections who either already know the house or local friends to find you good people to service things as needed.  

Lease options, and there are a variety of types of lease options, can be a good starting strategy for many aspiring investors. 

Completely agree with you on this; I'm not making any claims to the quality of these lenders here.

But it would be good if you understand how this is done just for your education etc.  

There was even one exceptionally kind Bigger Pockets member that seemed to know a lot about health and physical activity that we even chatted on the phone afterwards and he gave me some good pointers.  

Just be aware it's highly unlikely the hourly rate will be negotiable.

Banks and attorneys use it for skiptracing so, it would probably be good for you too.

Ten years ago they got it re zoned for high density , the neighbors fought it and it got delayed for 2 years .
