“Give the man a fish v teach him how to fish”

Neither is right or wrong, but one will help you become an investor more quickly than the other.a 10 dollar rod and reel combo and some worms or grub worms and go fishing for blue gill or crappie tell me what 3 to 7 year old would not dig that.. and many times they dont need a license. :)

A scammer smells the fish, so that would be my bet on why its escalating in this arena.

Instead of giving my family a fish every day, i have taught them how to fish.  

These were largely sourced pre-CV19, so eat the fish and spit out the bones.Try local community bank or credit union for investment properties.

We golf, fish, go to the beach, dine out at great restaurants, have a night life.

I've made some good friends along the way but I'm struggling internally because i need freedom. mostly with my time so i can go be with my family more often and build a more enjoyable lifestyle doing the things I love most such as motocross, hunting, fishing ect.

Summer though that I agree with compared to Texas its a delight.I like Charleston SC as a choice.. lots happening real estate wise.. great town great history resturants are really good.. and your right on the ocean so boating fishing etc is nice.. and airport you can get to the major hubs very easy.. economy booming with Boeing Volvo BMW and right to work state. 

Don't get analysis by paralysis, but a lot of people have a kind of investment philosophy like "I want to be the biggest fish in the small pond" or, alternately, "I want to show I'm the meanest, fiercest, strongest jaguar in the jungle, so let me at the competition." 

Our offer is the highest price we'll pay for the house and isn't "fishing".
