I figured why not just use a banks money instead of using a customers money and not have to deal with picky customers.

@Andreas Mathews admirable, but make sure you do some research so you understand what a PM can make.Starting your own PMC business will require 75-150 doors to make a decent living, depending on gross rents and your fee structre.Working for a SFR PMC as a PM, will require a RE license and you usually get paid a percentage of the gross rents the portfolio of owners/properties you manage generates.

If you want to make money you hustle and hustle and hustle. 

Hi Brian, the majority of hard money lenders want you to add the rehab money to the loan.

From the research I’ve done so far, it seems that South Carolina taxes investment properties at 6% which makes a tax bill quite high compared to a primary home.

But since i rarely held more than a year all the others got paid off quickly so I did not have to do all the hidden tricks to try to fool the bank or well not fool the bank or servicer but make it harder for them to figure out I was now the owner. 

You probably have a lot of friends or relatives with money to invest and an interest in real estate, but they have no clue what to do.

Same to me on Zillow, I think it’s because Zillow makes money providing or finding loans.

Most people don't sell an STR that is making them a ton of money so odds are it could look better, although they could be selling it for other reasons.

Making money and keeping money are not the same thing.
