It's an absolutely absurd amount of travel, and if you have to be in DC from 8-5 you are going to hit the traffic both ways.

We travel the world (when we can).

Some of the key areas we need some recommendations are:- Lender - traditional and hard money- Property Management Companies that work in the upstate (Easley, Pickens, Clemson, Anderson, Travelers Rest, etc
