@Gary Brady. Welcome to bigger pockets. What part of South Carolina are you looking in? Are you looking for flips, buy and hold, wholesaling? I’m in upstate South Carolina if there’s anything I can help let me know. Good luck.

@Satinder Singh we have a lot of areas in the upstate that are good areas for buy and hold. Just depends on what rate of return you want. Charleston is a great area. We visit there often.

@Shonari Wynter congrats on wanting to get started. How close to the coast are you? The markets are stronger near the coastal towns. Might be a stronger area if it’s not too far away. Good luck and keep studying.

Hey @Juan Carlos Arellano. I agree with cole. I would wait until u get back. Thanks for ur service in the guard. My daughter is in the guard getting ready to go to Kuwait. I would use the next 3 months to practice running the numbers. Try to figure out what areas you want to work in. What price range? Do some more meetings? Meet more people. I know Creia does subgroup meetings also. Greenville has investor meeting too. A lot of great people. I would study this area then When ur away for training look at that area. Compare the two areas. It might take you 3 months to find a deal you want to pull the trigger on. U don’t want to rush a deal or u might buy something you don’t want.  Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions I could help you with.

@Matt Chappell. Do you know Donnie Tucker? Not sure which one he works at. 

There’s a real estate meeting Wednesday night 530-730 at birds fly south brewery.  I think it’s posted in bigger pockets meetups. I think the upstate Creia meetings are the 3rd Monday of the month at embassy suites in Greenville.
