Specifically STR build to rent. 

@Christopher HeidrichRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

My plan is to sell my primary home in New York and purchase a house to live in South Carolina.

You might find someone in your network who’s ready to sell a property, or someone who has advice specific to your market.Real estate investing is a journey of learning and growth.

In that case, you’d typically need to file a legal challenge, which could involve going to court and showing that the restriction is unnecessary or unreasonable.The best advice I can give would be to consult a real estate attorney to understand your specific situation and options.

Hello, here's my situation:My wife and I own several properties separately.2 of the single family homes combined we have conservatively $150,000 in equity ($90,000, $60,000) I want to use one of these as collateral for a small loan of $30,000 to put down on a high cash flowing property OR have a lender finance the whole venture at a purchase price of $160,000.

I would like to do some research on other rental properties before I set my priceComputer algorithms are good for studying a general market, maybe even a neighborhood, but they are terrible for evaluating a specific rental.

That should be your focus, not how to purchase the land.  

While not being specific as to why there were delays (except what we know-that there is a wait on the process of a national builder buying out properties), she said they were temporary delays recently and that they were not permanent.   

If you do decide to start flipping homes- as a new investor you can either self finance with all cash, or you can contact a commercial lender like myself and expect terms to be 75-80% of the purchase price with 100% of the rehab financed through a draw.
