Rebuilding a community
Calvin here.
I'm in Anderson SC I see potential in every property I lay eyes on. There are numerous vacant properties in Anderson. I'm from Philadelphia and I am familiar with how acquiring these properties in PA works but I'm very interested in finding out how the south does this a lot of these properties are quick flips and with my skill could be quite beautiful!

@Calvin Harrington there is a lot of potential in Anderson, but also a lot of barriers from the Anderson CITY government. Instead of incentivizing the REI community, they make us out to be greedy wall street type people and tax the ever living crap out of us and also make it near impossible to evict a dead beat tenant. The first thing I heard when I got into REI was to avoid investing inside Anderson city at all costs. Now outside Anderson city, but in Anderson County, there are deals to be had, especially in mobile homes.
Hope this helps!
