Consult with real estate experts for guidance on legal obligations, tax consequences, and financial strategies.

Horry county to be specific.

I had the foresight to put these signs up when we bought the cabin and think this definitely minimized the possibility of any legal action.

You would need to be a licensed and insured PM to legally manage properties for other people.

I have rented to non residents whose status was, well, probably not legal. 

I was able to get a good deal on the house I was interested in due to this fact but it’s a half done flip/reno so there’s a lot of work halfway started throughout the house. 2 areas in particular I’m unsure of what to do with is the walls and attic, any suggestions or ideas of how you would be finish would be greatly appreciated (adding links to specific products are a bonus lol)! 

Be as detailed and specific as possible when mentioning your future plans, experience level, etc.

So if you look at the map and use the umbrella zoning color codes to know at a glance if something is residential, commercial, etc and then begin to zoom in, then you'll eventually be able to view specifics like R-1, R-2, CEIR, etc. 

If I were you I would sit down with a notebook and outline 1, 3, 5, and 10 year real estate goals and get very specific about what type of property you want to pursue and how many deals you want each year etc etc.
