Aspiring buy and hold investor in South Carolina

[Christopher Plummer]

Hi Everyone!

I'm a student in Clinton, SC (near Greenville) getting my doctorate in pharmacy. I still have three years til graduation, but I'm planning on investing in rental properties as soon as possible once I'm in the workforce. Building passive income is a huge interest of mine and I plan on treating it like a career, even though I'll likely have a day job. In the meantime, I'm trying to learn everything I can in order to hit the ground running and be as successful as possible.

Hoping to make some connections in or near SC with other investors, wholesalers, investor-friendly agents, et cetera. I'm particularly interested in buying and renting multifamily homes and apartment complexes with a property manager. Book recommendations or other good resources are welcome and appreciated!

Where are the best markets in SC?

What are the best ways to find connections?

Thanks all,

Chris

@Christopher Plummer Congratulations on getting started early! I know your current interest is in multifamily, however since you're going to be a pharmacist, consider to potentially buying a pharmacy. You won't need a triple net lease, since you'll be working there anyway. You can even consider a strip mall with a pharmacy in it to make it more attractive. Just a food for thought.

In terms of your question as to how to find connections, the best way is to go to REI club meetings. You can find such on meetup website. If you specifically want to meet commercial brokers, identify the most active ones on your target market and work on establishing relationship with them.

Best!
