Greetings from Greenville, South Carolina!

Hello All - 

This site was recommended to me, by a friend, and business mentor - he's located in St. Louis. He and I worked together in the corporate world for a couple of years. When I met him in 2010, he told me how he just finished a book (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) that spoke about reaching and attaining financial independence. He told me 6 years ago what his plan was - like most people, I'm not sure if I believed him at the time. Since then, he's quit the corporate world, and is a full-time investor that wholesales, flips, rents, etc. 

I am originally from the Pittsburgh area (Go Steelers!), and I've done a fair amount of travel around the Country for work. My wife and I put roots down in the Greenville, South Carolina area - Simpsonville to be exact. 

I have a mix of entrepreneur and corporate world experience. As an entrepreneur, I have started two online media companies and I own a Website Design business. These buisnesses have provided a very modest income - my primary income comes as corporate man, I have worked with both AT&T and Verizon as a field sales director, as a district and regional manager. 

I'm 34 years young and ready to apply my ambition to Real Estate Investing. I am going to concentrate my investments to South Carolina, the Upstate areas while starting out. Eventually, I will expand my footprint to the Coast, with some properties sprinkled throughout the entire State. 

As a minimum goal, within 5 years, by 2021, I want to have a total NET rental income of $3,500. I plan to flip investments as a source of income, that will eventually be reinvested into long term rentals. I hope to get into wholesaling, as I build a network in Carolina. 

Real Estate is a new space for me, I'm learning everyday about something new. The guy that I spoke about above has been a great mentor, but he's been my only mentor. I'm looking to meet local people that I can bounce ideas off of, connect with, and share success with. If you have a story, I want to hear it. If you've been successful, I want to pick your brain. If you're screwed up, I want to learn from it. 

Here's to a brighter future and greener success!

Hey @Brian Gossett, welcome.  I just joined BP myself and currently own a rental property in Greenville.  Looking to grow into more properties myself.  Be great to connect and share ideas!
