I feel so stupid...just had time to read about this and now its too late...will try to do my best to make the next one : (

Update: 

So I attended my first home inspection on August 12, 2015 and I must say "Thank God for Inspectors." I now understand the importance of having an inspection an I would never turn one down. It is money well spent in my book. On that note I have to say I was scared to LIFE!...the things that I feared seemed to come to life as we went through the home. From roof issues, to electrical, to plumbing...it had it all. Although the property had many problems I do not think that the issues went unnoticed intentionally, however, I do feel that it's a bit more than I am prepared to handle...but where do I go from here?

Thanks a lot @Jason Dillard.

Does anyone know of any knowledgeable Investor-friendly agents in the Spartanburg Area?

Thanks Stuart, I find that jumping in just might be the best for me.

OK...so I've been listening to Bigger Pockets Podcast for months now, researching countless strategies and obtaining mass amounts of information regarding the buy and hold branch of real estate. My main focus since January was to improve my credit score to qualify for better rates and hopefully shop around next year. Well...late last month I noticed a property listed in my area that seemed to be a perfect for my first purchase, however, I needed to secure financing in order to make a move on it. After days of doubt and self-motivational, on August 3, 2015 I finally took a leap of faith and thanks to God and the information I obtained from BP, I was able to qualify for a loan to purchase my first property. I am now in the process of getting inspections done and I am a nervous wreck. I plan to close by the end of the month and everything I learned seems to escape my brain the moment I have to sign a document or make a decision. I guess its just the fear of making a mistake along the way...but I guess I will be fine. Oh well...Wish me luck. 

Welcome to BP....I wish you much success. 

Hello Shannon...Welcome to BP. I am new to the community but I'm no stranger to the areas your looking to invest in. I am a native of Jersey City but I reside in SC and I too am interested in B&H. Although I am a newbie, my plan is to hopefully invest in NJ as well, so I wish you much success, BP has been a great help to me and I'm sure it will work for you as well. Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice John...already in motion.

 I agree...thanks for checking in.
