New military investor in Columbia SC

[Mikal Koss]

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!
