I suggest you start out by meeting like minded people and here is a link to a local meetup in the OC: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1225233-ocre...Good Investing...

I'm quite new as an investor, but with three books by Biggerpockets authors under my belt and plenty of enthusiasm, I'm ready to keep learning and to connect with like-minded people in my area and beyond.

@Shayan Sameerif you are putting down 20% cash but borrowing 80% from a HELOC, i still think you won't cash flow.i also get nervous when people throw out entire states. 

Curious to know how people are finding their experience with Safeguard Capital Partners now in the midst of COVID?

People complain about booking.com cancellations.

So you can scale that if you want.FHA is for people with poor credit and very little down payment.

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more. 

And of course all the events and attractions that draw people to Myrtle Beach are just 20 minutes away.In addition to Murrells Inlet, I would consider the adjacent Surfside Beach... which sits right between Garden City Beach and Myrtle Beach. 

People like it because you don’t need to own property—just lease it, list it on Airbnb, and make money if guests pay more than your rent and expenses.The catch?

Too many people try something for a short time and are looking for the magic bullet strategy but the true winners in real estate are those that do one thing a bunch of times over a long time periodHope that helps!
