Hello all,

My name is David and I am located in the Greenville, SC area.  I'm still fairly new to the real estate game, having one buy and hold rental property.  My ultimate goal is financial freedom (isn't everyone's???) and I'm looking for my second property now.

I've lurked on BiggerPockets for a while but would like to get more involved in the forum community.  There's a lot of knowledgeable folks to learn from and I'm also happy to share the mistakes I've made to prevent it from happening to others.

Go to IREM.org search for ARM certified property managers. Call 5 ask them what they see expenses running per category per unit. What do they see them selling for per unit, what is the market occupancy rate. What are the market rents? Ask them if they know anything coming up for sale. Great way to pick up some good info and possibly a deal.

You can also search NARPM.org for the RMP (Residential Management Professional) and MPM (Master Property Manager) certified.

Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). Find them through Google and meetup.com
