STR Needed Near Goose Creek, SC

Hi BP!

My son has just begun his 2-year journey training as a Navy Nuke in Goose Creek SC.  I am considering buying a place we can rent out either on AirBnB or to other Navy families visiting their students when we are not visiting.   I'd like to keep the purchase around $150,000.00 for a condo or single-family home but would raise the budget for a good cash flowing multi-family.

1. Where would you recommend buying to get the best cash flow that is STR friendly? By the beach, Goose Creek, North Charleston or other?

2. Who is a local Real Estate agent that knows the ins and outs of STR in the area?

3. Are there any local taxes or laws that I should be aware of with STR?

4. Who are some good wholesalers in the area that might have a property available?

Thanks for any suggestions!

The weapons Station is not a large base so the demand close to the base wouldn't be enough I don't think.
