hello everyone, my original real estate investing plan was to buy several multifamily homes and house hack. but ive heard where i really want to move to, (south carolina) that state is not the best for MFH investing. what are the best type of real estate investing strategies in south carolina?

Does anyone see any legal or accounting issues with this plan?

Some other investment loan programs allow gift funds, so there are options out there besides conventional financing. 

@Jessica Uresti construction is NOT a linear process and rarely goes as planned!
