New Investor in Greenville, South Carolina
Hey guys!
My name is Matt and I just moved to Greenville a couple of weeks ago. I'm still getting familiar with the area, but I want to hit the ground running with real estate investing. Some background on me: I worked as a software engineer for a few years before I took off to travel through South America for a year. Now I'm back, and I have some money I'd like to put to better use than sitting in my bank account. I've just started searching for a new job, but I don't want that to be an excuse that stops me from getting started in real estate. I have not done any deals yet, but I am looking for small multi-family units in the upstate area.
I'm just looking to meet with some like-minded investors in the area. Additionally, I would love to hear where you guys are investing. Are there any specific towns or neighborhoods you like in the upstate area?
Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hopefully meeting with as many of you as I can!
Matt Friede
PS. I love to play disc golf, so if anyone has some local course recommendations or wants to play a round shoot me a message!

Hi Matt --
If you haven't already, please consider joining UCREIA, the local real estate investing group. You can find the website to check it out, and then come to the July meeting as a guest for $20. I just joined in February and have found it well worth the investment of time and money by taking advantage of the educational opportunities and attending focus groups to learn more and make connections.
Hope to see you at the meeting Monday night.
Regards,
Marilyn
