New to Real Estate Investing in South Carolina

[Susan Knight]

Hello Everyone,

I started here on Bigger Pockets 4 years ago and basically my faith in myself failed to give me the confidence to succeed as a potential investor. I have however, followed the site and told people about it for the last few years only to decide, I need to do this. I am going to start by reading everything I can on the forums and enjoy the Pro benefits and watch plenty of webinars and podcasts. If anyone wants to reach out in SC, do so please. The closest REI meets are in Charleston so I plan on attending those that I can since I work full-time as a nurse. I am excited to build my business. My husband is a contractor, mostly in trim and cabinetry and we have a large potential team of electricians, floor specialists, renovators and so on through lifetime friendships if needed. We plan on buying for rental purposes and possibly a flip or BRRR. I would like to buy one house a year to rent out and move up the REI ladder with more properties. I hope everyone is having a great Sunday and can't wait to get "restarted" in my dream of being a Real Estate Investor.

@Susan KnightMy best advice is go ahead and buy a cash flowing rental house!  You can read and learn for the rest of your life and you will not know enough to ease the uncertainty of the purchase.  Run your numbers, trust your numbers, but make the jump.

Unfortunately, a lot of folks can't make it past the fear.....It certainly was the hardest part for me as well...Good luck to you!
