Coming to you from the picturesque landscapes of Grass Valley, CA, just a stone's throw away from the vibrant heart of Sacramento.As a fresh face in the realm of real estate, I'm buzzing with excitement to soak up every ounce of knowledge and opportunity this field has to offer.

Diversity of opportunities & Multiple submarkets-2.

The Greenville market is strong - high population and job growth - diverse economic base including manufacturing, logistics and transportation, medical and leisure & hospitality.

I was recently laid off from my job and have three issues: 1) No way to get a conventional mortgage 2) Need a place to live, and an advantage: sizeable savings on stock, bonds.I want to start investing in RE (ideally multifamilys), but for now I want to start small: buy a condo to live in, and [whenever I buy a multifamily I could move to] rent it.I would like to evaluate my high-level strategy, and get your comments:* [Soon] Get a "securities line of credit" worth around 15% of my savings.

I have seen so much growth in Columbus, Ohio when it comes to appreciation and job opportunities.

I have a job making ~ 90k and I plan on moving to Texas sometime in the near future.

You don't want a QI that has a pooled trust account where they have the opportunity to invest that money and use it for good or nefarious purposes.All the insurance and bonding in the world (which are important) are only beneficial after a bad event has happened. 

Everyone who is on Instagram worked from home, which isn't a bad thing I have plenty of clients in my job of golf instruction who have made fortunes working remotely, but when they won't even meet me at a coffee shop to pitch me and want money over the phone or zoom, I immediately disconnect. 

I am excited for the opportunity to execute on a buy and hold strategy.

There is some amazing opportunities for rentals based on the area.
