Your agent should be able to help you develop a Scope of Work.

I reached out to a few of the new construction developers to get a sense of their current pricing.

My grandfather started developing self-storage in the North Seattle market in the early 80's through 2000, so that's where I cut my teeth when I was coming out of college and entering commercial real estate.

I developed my maintenance standards when I was handling over 100 Section 8 units in 1940 and 1950 detached homes and walk up apartments.

South Carolina has Opportunity Zones, historic tax credits, and other economic development tools that could benefit investors, especially those improving distressed properties.Final ThoughtsInvesting in South Carolina real estate offers real potential, but it requires smart, localized decision-making.

I have a PowerPoint file with screen shots of the forms and reports, I might see if I can clean it up by removing addresses and names so it could be shared for a collaboration effort at some point.FYI, Access has some pretty simple wizards and developer tools, I literally did NO code writing to create what was a very useful app.

You’re essentially describing an appreciation-first, developer-tailwind strategy, and yes, some investors do this intentionally, but it needs very clear guardrails.

Today those properties are some of my best performing rentals and reopened my eyes to long term rental ownership.Everything I do is still heavy value add or ground up development but holding long term has changed how I underwrite and design projects compared to a scenario where the real estate is sold immediately after completion.First, I can justify using higher quality and more durable fixtures and materials.

The rule of “unintended consequences” also leads us to conclude some other effects of buyers paying their agents directly, (without the “work around”) developed by the NAR, which was the original intention of the regulators in suing the NAR.
