New Investor from Greenville, SC

[Kristy Ruff]

Hello Bigger Pockets!

I can't tell you how much information I have been exposed to by simply reading forums on this site and listening to some of the podcasts.  Bigger Pockets is amazing resource and thank you all for sharing your hard earned wisdom! 

I've fully renovated 2 older homes (one of which I still live in and thankful for all of the rooms to now be updated!), as well as a condo.  I've lived in several states and thankful to now call Greenville my home as it is am amazing city with great real estate growth.  My partner and I still own our condo and have lived through several years of ups and downs with renters, evictions, repairs, etc.  That being said, in total I've been through about 15 years of home ownership, renovations, a tanking market where we were upside down and couldn't sell the condo, many lessons learned on being a landlord, and feel I'm ready to finally get serious about making some intentional real estate investments.

I look forward to the continued interface with all of you and although I'm far from where many of you are in terms of real estate successes, I am open to helping any of you as well.  I've always worked in the commercial architectural and construction community, focused on interior finishes such as tile, countertops, and various building materials. If I can help anyone in that regard, let me know, I'd be glad to help! Thank you all in advance for the continued advice and talk soon!
