I've done the prelim 50 hours of research into both STR requirements and general market insights, and it seems like N Charleston, Hanahan and Mount Pleasant will work for OOS investors that aren't looking to have an SC driver's license.

For your purposes find one that can do seller side only HUDS, so the seller doesn't get mad at your profits.Find a title company that can do dry double closings unless you will be funding parts of the deal.

(Seattle is mad max pt.2)  Funny, I stayed in an STR last year that had outside cameras pointed into the living room window.

Nope says the driver with a lock and chain in is hand.

Note - I wanted to invest locally but even worse on Gulf Coast so been looking at NC, Jacksonville amongst other places  Check out Cleveland dawg........It's mad dope.

Yes risk appetite is a driver to make money for the young.

Even our local Pizza Hut is paying delivery drivers $15 per hour.

I hope Todd isn't still mad at me over that one. 

You may not be able to transfer / turn on water until after you have closed on your home.11You should do a “Final Walk Through” of the property you are purchasing within 24 hours before closing to confirm the property is in the same condition that it was in when you agreed to purchase the property and that all inspection required repairs have been completed.12On the day of closing, all signers will need to bring their driver’s license or Passport and a Cashiers Check in the amount you are required to bring to closing.

That provides a ton of liquidity and a nest egg while you sit on the sideline and wait for this madness to pass.
