Greenville, SC Search

[Jacob Allen]

Hi! My name is Jacob Allen, and I'll be moving to Greenville, SC this fall and am looking at getting into REI. I attempted to get started with REI back about a year ago, and after doing some research and listening to the podcasts decided that it is probably better that I pay off all my student loans and get debt free prior to beginning. I'm now in a better position to begin and am looking to start my investing this fall, I should be debt free by May! This is a big achievement for me, paying off about $65k in loans in almost 3 years exactly!

I was originally looking at investing in Georgia, however now it looks like my life has had some changes and I'll be moving to Greenville, SC after I finish a deployment with the National Guard in Afghanistan this fall.

I'm looking for a handful of things to start:

• Are there any current Meetups in the Greenville area that anyone recommends?
• I'm looking for a realtor that could help me make a more informed decision.
• Are there any good property managers in the area that anyone would recommend?  I would be open to the idea of long distance investing prior to my return in October if I had a good PM and Realtor lined up to help me with the process.

I look forward to hearing from anyone available!

Hey Jacob,

I’m an investor in Greenville and also am an independent insurance agent here. I would be happy to help you with some of your questions. I have a broad network into realtors, lenders, and PMs. It would be unfair to just list them here because everyone’s needs vary wildly but I’m happy to offer up some recommendations to help you best.

Are you thinking A,B, or C level? Are you thinking single or multi family? Do you want move in ready or rehabs?
