I am minutes away from the Appalachian mountains and three large freshwater lakes (Hartwell, Keowee, and Jocassee) with many more small lakes and recreational areas nearby, giving me opportunities for short-term rentals.

If you see dead trees or a dead vegetation (out of season), suspect a gas leak nearby.

We don't depend on seasons, oceans, mountains, unique experiences..we have theme parks and beaches nearby.

My big concern is that it is not nearby any major cities (2 hrs from the largest city).

We do everything ourselves now that we are retired and our properties are nearby. 

I recently negotiated an almost identical home nearby down to $100k even.MLS Link here.View report*This link comes directly from our calculators, based on information input by the member who posted.

Just go to Google Maps and type in “credit union” then call the credit unions with branch offices nearby.

When they are done touring I ask friendly questions like where are they from, what else have they seen, and maybe tell them how great some nearby restaurants are.

And any insight into nearby markets that can make this strategy possible?

Organic stores nearby?
