I’m planning to manage myself for now and once i grow my portfolio i will have to use PM.

Now all hope is not lost, what you could do is bring on a co-gp in the US to partner with where you bring the money and some analyst experience and they bring the other piece of the puzzle that you are missing.

This is in the early stages so I don't have a lot of info to go on right now. 

Just beginning this journey and am trying to learn.

Being the novice savvy investor I am, I want to make a deal to house swap, move into their bigger home for my growing family, and have them move in our home that is more favorable for senior living.

or it is just the way the market currently is right now ?

STRs are super popular in Charleston, but there's a lot of regulation now that's only getting worse, as well as some saturation issues.HOI costs will be higher east of I95 in SC for the most part.

As of now started looking at sfh and looking for cash flow .i will be taking mortgage and also planning to go with property management 

I’m thinking of selling while prices are still high , and paying cash for a multifamily or 2 separate properties to get a better ROE than I have now, however .. if I’m patient rates will come down in a couple years , not to 3% , but perhaps that’s my better strategy , then I don’t have to sell and pay capital gains, I can rent this place out & buy another with a refi at 5-6% is my guess - thanks !

My vision was this summer to rehab the home as a primary residence but now needing some creative ideas of what to do once we do a tear down.
