New military investor in Columbia SC
Hey guys. Just getting in to this and looking for some input.
I’m in the Army and will be going to FT Jackson SC (Columbia).
My wife and I are going to purchase our first home there and then rent it out when we leave around this time next year.
Looking at the market, it seems like a strong rental market with the college and military base. Seems like there are a lot of good options to hit that middle zone of $800-1200 a month rent.
I explained the cash flow and financial freedom concept to the wife and she is all in now.
We eventually want to own 15-20 units and live off the income while investing our salaries.
Basically just looking to talk about the City and Market. Trying to build some relationships so I can continue to buy once we move away.

Hi @Mikal Koss!
Welcome to the neighborhood! Your plan sounds like a solid plan! Are you looking to invest in SFH or multi families?
Good luck!
