So for example, here in Greenville, South Carolina, we have major auto manufacturers, BMW, Michelin and a whole host of smaller companies that manufacture parts for these larger facilities at BMW and Michelin.

While SU is a huge driver for the area, we have a lot of other economic drivers, including the two new Amazon facilities, but also newer companies such as TCGPlayer and Spincar, along with a multitude of new drone companies which are here for the expanding Tech Garden and the drone corridor which runs from Syracuse to Rome, NY.  

I have a distressed property, an owner-ish who doesn't want, and a mortgage company who won't talk to me. 

We've had great tenants, a good property management company, and few expenses over the past few years.

Clearly there are companies who are thriving with in-house management.

You're not trading, you're investing. 

Some of my best strategies have been:- Home Depot parking lot early in the morning- new subdivisions, new trades on display every day- local REIA clubs

I've heard about turnkey companies (properties that a company owns, is already rented, and ready to sell with tenants in it) but am not familiar with any names of companies.

Right now you are the licensed, insured, have  o experience and if you work remotely off little in the way of hands on at a property.Honestly someone could hire a Virtual Assistant from a other country.I would try and build your resume by working for a company for now.

If it makes a difference, the DIL could purchase in her name or in her construction company's  LLC name.
