It can be hard to find in Greenville since the housing market is HOT there, but the outskirts have possibilities.

Once you automate you can include smart lock operation, hot water on/off, etc. 

Is this market too hot for newbies like me to jump into?

A hot market will likely help save a bad deal but even a good deal may not survive a mediocre target market. 

Right now the Nashville market is really hot, inventory is down and closings are up.

I am getting ready to put an offer in a “hot” / sellers market (NJ).

I am actually hoping to go through a local wholesaler but (as you so astutely pointed out) things are hot and moving fast here in the Springs market so it's next to impossible to get in on things if you aren't dialed in directly!

Obviously these are hot markets already, and I have already reached out to some brokers, but We are needing resources to help us make our decision.

Context: The property was very hot and had many viewings in the span of 3 days of being on the market.

Hello BiggerPockets, I went to an open house for a property that was listed as a 2 family but with only 1 electric meter, 1 forced-air gas furnace w/central air and 1 hot water heater.
