Hello From South Carolina

[David Wilkins]

Hi! I am graduating college this May and have been saving every dollar to purchase my first house hack, hopefully in early 2025. I started investing once I turned 18(I lost most of it (whoops)), but I started focusing on safer investments and learning about real estate over the last two years. I am reading every book I can about real estate and am so excited to dive into my first property. Any advice, tips, or  books to read would be greatly appreciated.

House hacking is an excellent way to get started. Networking and becoming involved in the investment space is a great way to bridge the gap between accumulating knowledge (reading, videos, etc) and closing your first deal. Finding a mentor to help guide you is huge, also. 

Charleston has a very robust investor community. There are several FB pages for investors, as well as several solid REI Meetups each month. My recommendation would be to start attending REI Central each month if you aren't already doing so. Shoot me a message if you have any questions.

I have actual never heard of the group, I looked them up and plan on attending it within a few months after I finish college(I'm currently in the upstate). Thank you for that.

 Check whichever major city you're closest to. There will likely be a monthly meetup group there as well. Columbia and Charlotte for sure have meetups, and I would think Greenville does, also.
