I know that I stand to make more money per renovation by just paying for the work, but I'm attracted to the idea of partnering with him for a few reasons.

Hi Robin,I do a fair bit of business as a lender in South Carolina; a lot of short-term rental investors tend to focus on the Charleston & Myrtle Beach areas, but if you are looking for properties that are still reasonably priced and don't mind some renovations, Columbia can be a great choice 

And I'm not just talking about the crazy high prices. 

It's entirely possible to manage you cleaners via text or whatsapp, only list on airbnb or list on just a couple channels and manually make sure you don't have double bookings, manage your pricing manually, etc.

What price range would you be looking for?

I just sold my house , agreed on a price but told the buyers agent to add their commission to the sales price in a fixed dollar amount .

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $16,000 Sale price: $392,000 Contributors: Peter Vekselman Partner Driven, in collaboration with Glenn Klingensmith, successfully completed a fix-and-flip on Finsbury Drive, Spring Hill, FL.

There is two properties I'm going to look at tomorrow morning. 1 is in York City in a good block relative to the area and another I'm really excited about in northeastern school district that has opportunity for value add and is priced appropriately.

Purchase price: $330,000 Cash invested: $20,000 Sale price: $399,000 Contributors: Peter Vekselman Partner Driven, in collaboration with Seth Choate, successfully completed a fix-and-flip on Tip Top Road, Mariposa, CA.

Wholesaling doesn't involve taking ownership you're just selling the contract for the right to purchase a property at that price.
