Newbie in Charleston, SC!

[Jaewon Lee]

Hello BP!

I’ve come across BiggerPockets last year while I was watching YouTube videos on financial independence. Since then I’ve really enjoyed listening to the BP podcasts, reading the books listed in the BP Bookstore, and going through inspiring stories on the forum.

I moved to Charleston earlier this year for an internal job transfer. With my apartment lease ending soon, I want to finally take action and start planning for my first property purchase. (I do understand that no deal is better than bad deal so I'm willing to be patient) My goal is to start house-hacking with a multifamily unit, but I'm also open to converting a detached garage into an ADU or using Airbnb to offset mortgage on a SFH.

I want to learn as much as possible from the resources available on this forum and replicate the success that many others here have achieved. I would really appreciate any tips or recommendations, especially from those who are familiar with the area. Thank you for your time!
