I found some awesome vintage and more recent hi res photos of the Greenville area online at the Library of Congress.

That all said, Columbus is not quite a "hidden gem."

I am sure locals would be able to sift through the area to find the gems in the rough, but I can see why out of staters need to yield caution.

He ended up traveling all about the African continent & not finding a single gem stone.

I deal in gems and minerals, so I don't know much about Chinese antiquities -  porcelian and furniture.But, I wonder if anyone has any advice on how to structure a deal where you find a buyer for someone - using chinese antiquities, and not real estate, in this case, as an example.Like I said, this is a shot in the dark, I have never put a deal together, and I am looking for some start-up cash, to start investing in properties.

That's supposed to be *my* secret gem.

@Luke Harris  I grew up in this industry.. as such I am without being too forward and expert at it.I don't like selling worthless land to suckers.. and that is what most of these programs are based on.are there some gems  for sure.. have I bought and sold land  YES by the hundreds if not thousands.will I sell worthless High Desert sage brush land to unsuspecting folks NO.

One of the reasons I love bigger pockets, you get to find gems like this!

Feel like I'm throwing away a gem if I do this since with the university nearby, this should always have renters and appreciate very well. 2.
