Hey Steve, Do you have time to come down and meet with some agents? I think you will be able to find your ideal location, school zone and price point with some guidance. that way you don't have to waste time and money in a STR. There are quite a few good properties like Chris' above where you can get rental income right out the gate and be in a great house.

THIS WEEK! DF Onsite - we'll talk about patience and perseverance - how to deal with city zoning and ordinances when renovating a property (or trying to).

*Flippers and Buy and Hold Investors especially will want to be here! Details in the photo.
check out how we are changing this dilapidated house and warehouse to a duplex and 3 apartments

Been looking into the Columbia market and it seems attractive. But I have read conflicting reports about its future prospects.

I’ve seen reports highlighting its population growth potential: http://www.thestate.com/news/l...

And I’ve seen reports throwing cold water on their growth prospects: https://www.postandcourier.com...

Anyone have experience there?  what are you thinking about this market long term?

I look at it as a stable, secure market.  USC keeps it relevant and it is a cross roads in the state, so I don't see it going down.   If I were looking there, I would be in class B-C properties and not A.   My concern is upside growth and the taxes on investment properties.   I personally invest in NC, not SC, but Columbia would be very stable in my view.  Here is the current outlook.    Good luck and reach out if I can help as I am in Fort Mill, SC.

 This is a really nice looking report!  I'm in Columbia and can tell you that we have been stable for many years.  Even through 2008.  But the last 3 years appreciation has gone through the roof.  I don't expect that trend to continue.  I think we are stabilizing again and will go back to our boring stable market with heavy rental demand driven by the university and military bases.  

I posted a video about the tax implications.  

 I made a video to help people understand the tax implications of investment properties.  

 Gamecocks are on a role right now!  Time to invest :)  Let me know if yall have any questions.  We have a great meetup here DealFindersLive.com Hope to see yall soon in our investor meetups or buying some of our listings!
