Hello Biggerpockets,

My wife and are ready push all our chips forward and jump into Real Estate, but of course as newbies we have alot of doubt. The biggest one being location. We are located in Orangeburg, South Carolina which is probably as rural as it gets (about 45 minutes from Columbia, SC). We have no clue where tostart. We are thinking about flipping for our first project in order to get enough capital to start buy and hold. Any advice?

We have looked at recently sold properties in the area and there aren't many so we are nervous; if we go ahead and take a loan for which we are approved, buy and fix a property we might now be able to flip it. HELP!
