Our market is somewhat shifting, but it is still showing signs of thriving, with many opportunities for growth. 

Secondary Markets Are ThrivingOmaha and San Antonio are two examples of secondary markets where the cost of entry is still reasonable.

Then to find inventory, you need to search out, i.e. network, and find out who is creating these type of notes or you help people that may have an interest in seller financing how to create a note that is marketable to the secondary market.

Any marketing should always be based on the information provided by sellers in a deal. 

The issue I see is that market has historical appreciation below average (not bad, but slightly poor).  

Educate yourself with books, podcasts, and market research, define your goals, and build a team of professionals to support your journey.

Additionally, while rates aren't historically bad right now, they are higher than 4-5 years ago, and they will be even higher for you as an investor than they were as an owner occupant, which is what you were when you bought originally.I get that you are anxious to add to your portfolio, but that could be achieved without touching your first golden goose.Sometimes on BP, the push is to leverage every last spare penny, but that can be a risky game as the markets shift. 

The market is going to go up in the next 5 years.

Make sure to factor in insurance (slight change as rental), property tax (in our market is 2x a primary res), vacancy (3-5% in most markets), capex (old roof?)

My goal is to help property owners navigate management challenges while ensuring their investments are well taken care of.I’d love to hear from experienced investors about what’s working in the Charleston market and share insights as I gain more hands-on experience.
