AND try to find a market where you do not have to compete as much with 2nd home demand - a place where people go to vacation but is not top of mind for a rich guy's vacation home destination (ski town, lake house, etc.).If you are asking for the secret market that returns 20% cash on cash without any renovation or difficulty, that doesn't exist.

So what the people who have answered may not realize is every states laws are different on this.

I was fortunate to meet some phenomenal people in Orlando a few weeks back at BPCON23! 

I've seen a lot of our community members start out with third party, learn their systems, and then bring it in house when they own several hundred units.I would read the book Small Giants, by Bo Burlingham.

@Bernardo CunhaI would guess there are less than 10 people on BiggerPockets who would invest overseas with someone.

Now, he's responsible to bring tourism and investment into the country so why would he say that?

Welcome to BP and thanks for sharing your plans, there are a lot of people in a similar position who will feel inspired.

These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

@Carol Venolia@Gino Barbaro I agree with Mike H. that it may be time to bring in some help.

Would like to try and expand our services but not sure what else is needed, because I know one of the main questions I hear other people asking is "are they licensed and insured/bonded"  - The state we are in is South Carolina.
