I am a veteran myself living in Virginia.

Being about an hour away from Greenville (and hearing great things from friends who have lived there in the past) I am curious how the market is looking.

We live in Pennsylvania, and we are both licensed realtors here.

Where I live in Lake Tahoe, Nevada there are HOA associations have been poorly run, multiple insurance claims from snow damage, and as a result are increasing fees to cover the low fees of the past and capital expenditures that have been put off for years. 

The cost of living is extremely low compared to other cities and you can still many many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here.

HI Erias,You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

I've never done a course, but I always had trust issues on these type of things.I am Canadian, I live in Toronto.
