sort of newbie in SoCal making the move to South Carolina

[Layla Sewell]

I'm Layla Sewell. I'm a military brat living in Los Angeles, but making the move to Lexington, South Carolina this summer. I'm a wife and mother who works full time as a Social Worker. I'm about to 1031 exchange my SFR in Lancaster, CA for a mutli-family in the Columbia area of South Carolina hopefully by January 2020. My goal is to scale up to commercial apartments. My current strategy is buy and hold. I found out about Bigger Pockets from researching the net about real estate. Now I tell everyone I know who is starting out. I'm an avid listener to the BP podcasts. It took me awhile to introduce myself, but I've been listening to the podcasts for about a year now. I'm still trying to get the hang of the forums. It feels overwhelming sometimes. Thanks for reading my post!
