Hi there everyone!
I have recently found BP on Soundcloud and it has opened my eyes to REI. I am very excited to get started her in S.A and was wondering if anyone has ever invested in S.A and if they have do you have any tips for a first time buyer?
I am 27 and my fiance is 25, he is a property maintenance manager and I'm a graphic designer so we are thinking of getting started with house flipping.
Any advice would really be appreciated, and thanks again to BP for all the advice and inspiration!
Laiken
