Hello from Charleston SC - New Investor

[Patrick H.]

Hi everyone on BP,

I'm an aspiring real estate investor/developer in Charleston, South Carolina.
I've been lurking here on Bigger Pockets for awhile, reading as much as possible and listening to all the podcasts, but I've neglected getting involved in the site until now.
I'm still educating myself, but I'd like to begin focusing on small multi-family investing with the ultimate goal of developing urban infill projects.

I have a full-time job as well as a family which has kept me from moving too quickly. I'd love to hear advice from those out there with young kids about starting out while maintaining the work-life balance.

Also, anyone in the Charleston area, I'd love to connect with you. I've only lived in the area for the last 2 years so I'm still trying to get a handle fon the best locations to invest.

Thanks to everyone involved in BiggerPockets, especially Josh and Brandon. It's an amazing resource.

-Patrick
