My mom is retired with excellent credit but the banks will not give her the loan even though she has money in her self directed IRA, so we have to turn to a hard money then convert to long term financing, so the interest will be higher.

Maybe we can chat more later on after you finish some additional homework lol.Driving for dollars is simply, well, a BP term i suppose (only heard it here), I would just explain it as getting in your car and driving around and area you want to invest in and look for property that might be a candidate for you.

This is a great community and I am sure you will find excellent contacts for your SC market. 

Excellent advice @Engelo Rumora , thank you.

The rent-to-price ratio is excellent in some markets, but once you account for the city/county taxes or the flood/hurricane insurance or the vacancy level due to supply/demand, you're quickly in the red. 

Dwolla could be next.www.erentpayment.com customer service is excellent and so is their product.

The tenant is excellent and I gave her a great reference.I've found landlords of problem tenants more than happy to warn me about getting involved with them.

Driving for dollars is an excellent way to build your own list in which to market to potential sellers.
