Hey folks! Myles here from Greenville, South Carolina! I'm not new to real estate investing or bigger pockets, but new to the forum. I'm not sure of what exactly, but something led me to start connecting with others here and do my best to actually stay active. I married my wife in Atlanta back in 2019 and was a destination wedding and commercial photographer. I traveled all over the world for photography, Malaysia, Singapore, Mexico, Thailand, Canada, Mexico, Belize, Dominican Republic and the list goes on. My last claim to fame was working on set for Season 1 Love Is Blind on Netflix also as a wedding photographer. 

It was January of 2020, during COVID, that I transitioned into real estate out of necessity, specifically wholesaling. Just when I cleared around $100K in assignments in about 7 months, I was hit by a drunk driver head on and became a left-knee amputee. Anyone who knows me knows I always say, "It's not about what happens to you that matters most, but what you do with what happens to you." I may have, overnight, become disabled but I am not unable! Took about half a year to learn how to walk, talk and even eat again, but bounced back to my love for real estate investing and the two things that transitioned me from just wholesaling to actually buying deals as an investor was creative finance and private money.

Bought my first rental property in Easley, S.C. owner finance and one of my best rentals I still own today was bought subject-to! Ultimately, a do a little bit of everything in the residential space depending on the deal I find, but either flip paper (wholesale), flip houses (remodels) or flip the debt (buy and holds).

I am looking to connect with as many of you as I possibly can while adding just as much as value wherever I can!
