One thing to keep in mind, is transportation.  

I will probably not get out to Charleston until late 1Q2019, but will keep your suggestion in mind and send you PM regarding meeting your local team when dates start to firm up.

If you don't mind sharing - what do you personally do to find your investments? 

There are so many resources on here, but I would recommend the following to start:Attend local REIA meetings and connect with like-minded investors: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meetRead the Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingListen to the BP Podcasts: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/podcast/

I'm pretty new to BP as well :)  Keep in mind that some Big White properties can have ridiculous strata fees for a two bedroom condo ($700+/mo).

I want to start connecting with like minded individuals in hopes to help each other achieve our long/ short term goals in the investing world.

I’m guessing it’s impacting your state of mind, your sleep, maybe your health.

It’s a good place to meet like minded people that are starting out like yourself but if you want to mingle w experience investors you better off going to local meetups

Thank you for the warm welcome, awesome to connect with a like minded younger investor.

I’ll keep all of this in mind for my research.
