Upstate SC - Out of state investors
My wife and I are out of state investors currently living in Texas, but looking at purchasing rental properties using the BRRRR Strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance,Repeat). I was born and raised in Powdersville looking to build a portfolio in the area. My wife and I both attended Clemson, but work has taken us out of the area and into Texas.
We want to reach out to the group as we are looking to network and build connections with successful real estate investors in the area. Some of the key areas we need some recommendations are:
- Lender - traditional and hard money
- Property Management Companies that work in the upstate (Easley, Pickens, Clemson, Anderson, Travelers Rest, etc.)
- General Contractors
Right now we are looking at single family/dublex that have a minimum ARV of $80K and up with an all in purchase price and rehab at 70-75% of the ARV.
Please share any recommendations or contacts that you have.
Also, if anyone is looking at Real Estate in the Dallas/Ft. Worth market let me know as wei have a lot of connections out this way.
Thank you - Michael & Lauren

Hello Micheal,
I recently returned to the Upstate after serving in the Air Force for 25 years. I opened a property management company focused on serving real estate investors in the Greenville and Easley housing market areas. As investors ourselves we are constantly striving to maximize our owners’ return on investment. We have made strong connections with several real estate agents and mortgage brokers who are also investors and would love to assist you and your wife as you expand to the Upstate.
