South Carolina just jumping on board

[Bob Clement]

Hi,

My name is Bob Clement and I am from Greenville, South Carolina.  Actual Fountain Inn South Carolina to be precise.

My wife Melanie and I have for most of our married life pursued real estate in a passive manner.  By this I mean the we have done our investing through sweat equity.   We have built our own houses, lived in them for a number of years an then moved on to another with the intent to build equity through our own labor and market appreciation.  Its worked somewhat, but honestly we took a major bath on one house that has taken until now to correct.

We are now looking to start dipping our toes into the water and do some house flipping with the intent to go full time.  Melanie is a burned out labor and delivery nurse and I am an engineer.  She is the daughter of a builder and I have worked as a general contractor in the past.  I have built several log homes as well as tradition frame structures.  

We are originally from Maine and have a project going there that we landed by default by being offered my father's home at half price after he passed away.  This community looks to be a fantastic means to get advice and network with other folks so I am really excited about having found BiggerPockets.com
