Unfortunately, this is no longer available in SC because of a new law prohibiting the use of public data for marketing.Luckily there are some new motivated seller lists that don't rely on this public data that are doing well for investors.

Cash flow-oriented investors would do well in this market, since Montgomery’s rent-to-price ratios are very favorable—for instance, we’re seeing $150,000 properties in B/B+ neighborhoods fetch monthly gross rents of $1,200 to $1,300.By the way, if you’re looking for financing, a debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) loan could be a good option for you since you’re an international investor.

If you'd like to get quotes to have an idea of the rates and terms as well as how much you'd need to bring at closing, send me a dm. 

This was my concern as well regarding the legal issue and it being the same person. 

I asked my attorney that, he asked, well how many properties  can you afford to lose when a tree falls on little Johnny and I prove you knew the tree was going to fall?? 

The lease option needs to be executed properly as well.

Any advice would be appreciated, and I really do like the submetering idea but I am open to other ideas as well.

Typically, though, the terms are spelled out pretty well...at least I know they are here in our Florida contract.
