Newbie from Greenville, South Carolina

[BRIAN O'Neill]

My name is Brian O'Neill. I'm new to the site and new to the investor side of the real estate business. I've been a real estate agent for over a year now. I mostly to do business in the Greenville/Spartanburg area but have no problem expanding business. 

I grew up in Illinois but have called the Upstate of South Carolina my home for the last 15 years. I love the retail aspect of the real estate market but also want to expand and get educated on the investor side. I work with a couple investors now so I'm just a newbie that is extremely hungry to learn.

I'm also a full-time firefighter in Greenville but our schedule leaves us with so many days off between shifts, that I basically do real estate full time also. My goal is to learn about the wholesale side of the business before venturing into other aspects of the investor world. I want to build a portfolio and business big enough so I can say good bye to the FD. 

I may ask too many questions but it never hurts to ask, right? Thanks in advance and I look forward to getting educated!

Welcome! If you haven't yet, I would definitely check out the BP podcast, tons of great information.

I am interested in why an agent would want to get into wholesaling. I guess the difference is finding a buyer for your property, vs. Finding a property for your buyer?
