In this business, whether you’re renting out a duplex in Columbia or a room in Rock Hill, one thing stays the same: you need to understand the law—cold.As someone who’s built my career managing, developing, and investing in property across South Carolina, I’ve seen what happens when landlords guess, tenants overstep, and managers fail to run things by the book.

A few things I’ve been seeing that might help if you’re considering Utah for rentals or flips: Daybreak, Herriman, and South Jordan → lots of new construction, strong long-term growth.Ogden/Clearfield/Layton → more affordable entry points, solid rental demand from nearby jobs + Hill AFB.Provo/Orem → student + tech-driven demand, good for medium-term or traditional rentals.  

@Dom Tague15147: Penn Hills mostly C class and Verona I'd consider C+.

@Terrance Hill Thanks for the encouragement Terrance! 

A silent protest by IRS employees perhaps related to staffing...       

Participation by silent partners would likely revert to require an SEC registration, which is not what you want.Do you really want a job “pitching in” as a house flipper, or do you want to earn money passively from others who understand flipping?

It is very, very hard to cash flow in Oakland, Shadyside, Sq Hill, etc.It may be worth looking into some of the small schools in the surrounding areas such as IUP, Cal U (now known as Penn West), Slippery Rock, etc.

Throughout the area, you can find a mix of downtown-style living in the larger suburbs like Leander, or suburban living in communities like The Hills, Round Rock, Bee Caves, Georgetown or Spicewood Springs.

Skin in the Game (Equity)2000s subprime pools: Some products allowed 0–5% down, with layered risks (piggyback HELOCs, silent seconds, etc.).

And while feedback is important, it creates a visible imbalance where the vocal minority can easily overshadow the silent majority who are satisfied but not actively sharing their positive experiences.It’s like being a referee in a sports game—when you do your job perfectly, no one notices.
