OBX doesn't get as much vacation traffic and lacks many of the attractions you'll find here in Myrtle, not to mention our award-winning airport. 

But I'm having trouble finding attractive deals.

He has a sign in front of the property with his phone number to attract renters, but he does not currently have the property listed anywhere on the internet (no yelp, google page, etc.). 

If the hot housing market cools down, and if the economy and stock markets experience decline, multifamily syndications are a very attractive alternative, providing stable distributions for years to come. 2.Investors are investing in physical assets, which appreciate during inflationary times.

Which I found really attractive personally. 

There are millions of dollars all around you. 

If I had no properties and 300k I would look to BRRR locally no matter the size as if you can keep getting your money out and reusing it you can build quickly versus saying using the 300k as a downpayment on a 1.5 million dollar 24 unit that your money will need to sit in. 

Also, I'd try to get this on a longer term to make the cashflow more attractive.   

The property I am selling is around $2 million, new property I am buying is $3 million.

You have to find the right balance between making attractive offers to buy deals and protecting your investment.When I purchased my first 4-plex, I saw 3 out of 4 units prior to making an offer.
