I'd love to hear from experienced investors about:Best resources for finding these listings (beyond the obvious MLS)?

Or Brokers that talk a great game but cant fund at the end of the day.. 

If this passes and someone ran their numbers based on 30 day stays, they could see a significant hit to their bottom line.In summary, talk to people who know, ask them what they think will happen in that specific area, and know that in high demand areas an absence of rules can honestly be a red flag - it means the STR conversation hasn't happened yet and leaves you vulnerable to whatever the decision is once it does.

Thanks to @Bob Stevens he miraculously found a way to contact my original contractor Kevin Holmes and we talked for a while.

I have surfed the web and reviewed reddit posts, YouTube videos, talked with family members, and more and I've come down to this definition.- 20% equity after rehabbing- 4% Cash on Cash return- 5% Appreciation rateWhat are your thoughts on this base definition and how does it apply to Charleston? 

Happy to connect with you and talk RE.

@Cody Journell this is a great list above.

You can still find deals via referrals or pocket listings which are cheaper but you will spend more time to build the connections and relationships.

For any Investor Experts out there, I can also help with property analysis/renovations to bring some value to the table.Thanks for taking the time to read this post and looking forward to talking with you.

When you say cash, are you talking about the green stuff or Hard money ?
