Paul Kelton

Owner & Founder at Tide Property Management

Speaker

I help real estate investors buy, sell, and evaluate investment property in Charleston, SC.

My focus is rental property, small multifamily, and residential investment sales. I have been involved in over 200 investment property deals in Charleston, and I bring a different lens than a traditional residential agent.

Most agents look at a property and ask, “Can I sell this?”

I look at it and ask:
Will the rents support the price?
What will the property actually cost to operate?
What does the resident profile look like?
What repairs or management issues are hiding under the surface?
Who is the highest-probability buyer?
What is the best exit strategy?

I am also the founder of Tide Property Management Co. and the host of GRID Charleston, a local investor meetup built around real deals, local relationships, and practical strategy.

That combination gives my clients something most agents cannot offer: brokerage advice backed by property management data, local investor deal flow, and real-time market feedback.

I work with:
- First-time investors
- Out-of-state investors
- House hackers
- Portfolio owners
- Small multifamily owners
- 1031 exchange buyers
- Sellers of rental property and small multifamily assets

Property types include single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, small multifamily properties, and value-add residential investment opportunities across Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, James Island, Johns Island, West Ashley, Summerville, Hanahan, Goose Creek, and surrounding markets.

If you are looking at an investment property in Charleston, send me the deal. I’ll tell you what I see.
