Hi! Nice to meet you; I have a similar story as yours. I've been in SC for years, most recently Columbia (2019). I also work for a Fortune 2000 company (healthcare) and I'm looking to invest in REI. I own 1 and I'm about to acquire my 2nd. Let's connect!

Best of luck!

That's awesome!  Thanks for sharing and look forward to chatting.  Good luck to you too!

Hey Matt, congrats on making the leap with real estate.

I live in Columbia near downtown and am active with real estate, have a few houses and trailer parks. Would love to connect and see how I may be able to help with your investing journey. Think I may be in the market shortly looking for another project. Have a real estate brokerage company on the side if you ever need any assistance with MLS or buying/selling. Work insurance full time, specializing in coverage for builders, developers, contractors, etc.

@Will Gaston is a wealth of information and very prudent/knowledgeable investor, he was just helping me with some lending info yesterday.

Don't be a stranger, feel free to reach out.  Good luck!


Appreciate the warm welcome, Hunter!  I'll reach out!

Hi Matt!

I'm a Realtor with CB Northeast and enjoy the hunt for properties if you need that assistance.  I have helped a few investors and have just begun my own journey with one single family rental . . .that's why I'm with Bigger Pockets.  Would enjoy connecting!


Hi Linda, I'll reach out, my first rental is in Northeast Cola!

Quote from @Tracy Selfridge:

Hey Matthew, I'm in the Lexington area and have some connections here. Shoot me a connection, I'm always happy to connect.


 Thanks Tracy!  Will do!

Hey @Matthew McDonald, good to meet you. I've been student rentals in 29205 / 29201 for 17 years. Most of my portfolio is in Shandon, Wales Garden, Olympia etc. I don't do a ton of flips but can be a good resource for lending as I've got loans w/ 8 or 9 different banks in Cola. 

Those are great spots, for sure!  Thanks for connecting and for offering your resources!  
Quote from @Scooter Williams:

Hey Matt - great to 'meet' you.  Would love to connect! I am just outside of COLA and started buying here in mid 2021.  I have purchased 50+ units around town in the last year and looking for more.  Still lots to learn about the area as I am a bit new here.  Give me an add here and we can take it from there. I might have some decent insights for you on getting flips around town.  I dont do flips, but get a bunch in email. 


Appreciate you reaching out, Scott!  I'll add you. Looking forward to the discussion!

Quote from @Cody Lewis:

Hey Matthew! Welcome to BP! Currently the family and I live in Charleston but I was raised in Columbia. Always happy to connect!

Thanks Cody!  Love Charleston.  Went to college there and lived there a bit myself.  Do you happen to know Joe Porter?

Hey Matt! Welcome! 

There's a great meetup every month. Check facebook for REI Live! Columbia. Great place to network!

Appreciate the heads up!  I'll definitely check that out.

Hi Folks!

My name is Matt McDonald, I'm a local investor in Columbia, SC, and new to the Bigger Pockets community.  I grew up here and for the last 10 years I've worked for a Fortune 200 company in a completely different industry.  I've been blessed to have the opportunity to now pursue my dreams of investing in real estate to build wealth for my family while improving the communities we touch.  I have a seasoned GC relationship and am looking to fix and flip 10 - 20 houses in 2022. 

Please reach out if you're in the area!  I'm looking to connect with other investors, wholesalers, and RE professionals to build relationships, talk shop, and/or find some deals!  

Best,

Matt
