Newbie Myrtle Beach, SC investor - lives in Northern VA

[Bruce Martin]

Hello everyone,

I figured I would finally create a profile and start taking advantage of the wealth of information on this site.  Actually, I have already been educating myself with the podcast/blogs/forums for quite some time.  My mindset leans more towards the buy and hold investments and I am simply interested in achieving financial freedom.  I live in Northern Virginia but I have no ties to the area other than my job with the federal government.  I do have plenty of family and friends in the Myrtle Beach, SC area.  I have two townhouses there that are long term rentals and they have been treating me well so far.  Multi-family properties are limited in this area so unless I venture into some new markets I will more than likely be sticking to SFHs.

Welcome Bruce! The DMV can be a good place to invest if you're looking to buy closer to where you are now. You are right that multis are a bit uncommon but there are small pockets in the metro area that you may want to consider. Be sure to join some local REIAs and start making those connections. Best of luck!

@David Alvarado Thanks for the welcome. I think there will be a move in my near future so I'm not doing anything in the DMV area as of now.
