David Columbus, Ohio is a strong market for short term rentals due to the growing hospital systems (new build with over 900 beds), The Ohio State University with over 50,000 students and the young professional population in the growing tech industry here with companies moving in such as Intel: https://www.dispatch.com/story...

Open to properties around the country with PM management, but focusing currently on the South and Midwest.

I funny story...when my wife and I put in a pool a couple of years ago we decided to get a HELOC as I can't do my own HELOC here at my mortgage company. 

For Realtors, most MLS's also offer an assumable search (for those that are identified correctly) when noted investors can find this information on additional details at the bottom of real estate sites like Zillow and Realtor.com under 'Terms' usually it will say conventional, cash, assumable...Title companies can be helpful with verifying the original loan balance and original note date which is a good indicator of the sellers note rate and how much principal they've paid down based on an ordinary amortization schedule. 

Foreclosures, short sales, and off-market deals can provide these opportunities.Target up-and-coming neighborhoods with increasing home values rather than already hot areas.Research comparable recent sales and get an inspection to accurately estimate the after-repair value (ARV) before making an offer.Follow the 70% rule - the purchase price plus renovations should not exceed 70% of the ARV to leave room for profits after selling costs.Focus renovations on maximizing returns - kitchens, bathrooms, curb appeal rather than over-improving.Hire experienced contractors and have a project manager oversee work to keep things on schedule.Price the renovated home at or just slightly below comparable recent sales to facilitate a quick sale.

As long as you can manage the short term, you will succeed in the long term.

I own two real estate companies in Hilton Head and Bluffton.

I can change the deeds for I think $35-$40 each, but was wondering if instead, I could just transfer my company/LLC to somebody via Will.

You need someone to help you with finding A property, rehabbing, project managing rehab and property management.

May I recommend anger management since you seem very triggered by me just trying to seek out some help in an area I'm not very familiar with.Cheers!
