Beginner Investing in Charleston

[Frank Piccioni]

Good morning

My name is Frank and I am new to the bigger pockets community and to real estate.  I live in Charleston SC and I am wanting to possibly buy my first rental property to turn into an Air bnb.  Is there anyone on here that is familiar with this market down here?  I want to buy as close to the city or to the beach, but those areas are super expensive. I just started a business about 7 months ago.  It is doing well but I still have quite a bit of debt. I was wondering as well, do I focus on the debt before I start this venture or is it possible that this venture will help pull me out of debt?  Thanks so much, Frank
