Hey Kristopher,Population and job growth are the main indicators we look for. 

Like I said, i want to buy and hold for that passive income so hopefully, someday, I could quit my job but I can't even imaging how I can buy one property, let alone, a lot more to have enough to quit my job.  

Planning is great - I never was good at that - words are easy to put down on paper - other people's ideas are fun to experiment with and can make someone new in this business feel good for awhile I guess.Over 40 years ago I can recall as if it were yesterday - I was where many of the new folks on this site are today - I was motivated to make money in real estate - had a giant desire to create a little success (the low pay awful job I had, and a jerk for a boss just wasn't cutting it  - but I had motivation - i discovered quickly that it takes more than motivation to pay the bills.So this one seminar I took the guru said "set a goal, build your team and find a mentor".OK - I set a goal to get rich in real estate - to buy one house a month and to quit my job.

In the past I have worked various jobs from warehouse jobs, to teacher’s assistant in a high school, to even a mechanic apprentice.

I would recommend reading through the Upstate Business Journal to get a feel for the type of money going into creating jobs in Spartanburg.

Have a full time job so I cannot locate any good deals myself.

How is the job market?

Even though you may have experience running a brush over a wall, there’s a huge difference in time and quality between a professional paint job and someone painting their own wall.

However I'm thinking about finding a handyman For small jobs.

You never know when someone's situation might change and they decide to sell.A good CRM is something to look into for managing your leads, notes, and having a schedule to mail.
