Columbia or not Columbia
I am just starting out and live in Columbia, SC. I've lived here for 4 years and don't feel like it's a strong market for rental income, mainly because of the high number of apartment complexes. I would like to start out soon but am not sure if Columbia, SC is the right market. If not, what are my options then? Any feedback is appreciated!
