I grew up in Raleigh and I have been saying this for years.. Durham is next!! Great to see it come to pass. I know of a few tech companies based there with average salaries in the 150s. Money being pumped in and RE prices still regionally low. Great time to make moves!

Some are worth it, most are not. There is SO much free information out there. A lot of these gurus charge 10k. Take a decent w2 job @$40 an hour, thats 250 hours of work to pay that. I wonder-if you took 250 hours of time and consumed every bit of free content on BP and networked your butt off, could you achieve an education and SOI equivalent to the gurus/what they offer? Yes of course you could. But most won't because its too much work. We want the easy way out. If you did decide to go with a guru-type, I would recommend Pace Morby. He puts out an insane amount of incredibly valuable content for free and then his mentorship if above and beyond. But again, its 8k. Just a matter of what you value and if youre willing to do the work.

I just found foreclosurelistings .com and it shows some properties in preforclosure. I have had much more success in helping people avoid foreclosure in the first 90 days than after they have an auction date. Have you had success keeping a property out of auction after a sale date has been issued?

Welcome! Seems like you already have experience, a niche, and a client base... Don't be scared, dive in!! You win some and you learn some... either way you're moving toward your goals. Don't get paralyzed with what-ifs. No time like the present. There wil always be people throwing flags on why it's a bad time to buy... and they'll probably stay on the side lines. Don't be that guy. You got this!

Hey BP!

I am currently running a foreclosure acquisitions campaign in San Diego with some success. We are expanding and have a team in Charleston, SC. My data source does not seem to show foreclosures in South Carolina at all. Not because they are not there, but maybe because the data rules are different? Is foreclosure data public record in SC like in CA? If so, how/where do you source these leads? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
