Hey Justin, I just noticed your post. I am an agent in the Spartanburg And Greenville area and would be able to assist you in your auto search for you.

Hopefully I’m not too late. I notice it has been 5 days since the post.

Thanks!

What are you planning on starting, expanding on, stopping, etc... for 2020?

I am wanting to expand to investing out of state and gain more connections to further my networking. I could probably go on for days with goals and ambitions. What are yours?

@Anthony Gayden

Thanks for the feedback on this! Much appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on flips, an agent, a landlord, and just started a role as developer in the real estate world. I seem to be slightly overwhelmed at times and know that real estate investing is in my DNA, but is this the best approach?

I was able to flip 3 homes, close 31 deals, and keep the one renter happy and paying all year in 2019. I hope to grow my rental market more in 2020, do 5 flips, work at least 50 deals as an agent, and develop more homes (to list) while working with a builder. I’m also looking into getting my builders license.

Any advice or direction is welcomed. I want to make sure my wife can stay home with our growing family and we can also retire when I turn, or before I turn, 55.

Thank you!

Diversify,

Grant

@Kathy S. The flipping options in the area have lowered due to the economy going so well. I flip also and it is fighting tooth and nail for a deal.

Using another investor wouldn’t hurt as long as everything is understood financially going in.

Good luck with everything you have going on here in the upstate!!

What is your Top few states to invest in? I live in SC and we have a tax increase on investment properties. Looking to branch out. Thanks for the feedback and insight!

Get ‘Real’

@Katie Miller I hope to gain more rental houses and am currently reading David Greene’s Long Distance Real Estate Investing in order to tap into markets outside of where I live in SC. With a potential baby number 3 on the way soon, I want to make sure we are covered with enough passive income.

I am currently working a part time job to keep insurance for us four and I had an in depth conversation with a coworker as to why I am still there. Passive income for comfort ability.

A lot is going on with the McDowell Real Estate Group this year with closing a flip, midway through a current one, and acting as developer for the first time on some land I bought last year in a tax sale. Pretty exciting overall and looking forward to see these goals become reality!

Hoping all on here a positive 2020 and never look back but always forward. Grow. Build. Network.

Keep going and Semper Fi

Good morning!

Quick question: when did you know to take the plunge to go all in with your real estate investing from your normal job?

Thank you,

Grant
