The issue I see is that market has historical appreciation below average (not bad, but slightly poor).  

Study the market.

My goal is to help property owners navigate management challenges while ensuring their investments are well taken care of.I’d love to hear from experienced investors about what’s working in the Charleston market and share insights as I gain more hands-on experience.

Look for motivated sellers off market and market via cold calling and or direct mail, geofencing, advertising and the like.A good wholesaler is as @Ericka Parrott mentioned, direct to seller, did good underwriting and can deliver an actual "Deal" whether buy and hold or flip. 

Most land bank properties, Detroit or Wayne County, are trainwrecks and cost more to rehab than they are worth - unless the market keeps improving.Be careful on the next one, but keep improving Detroit!

I'm going to be taking some time to get to know people in my market as I kind of want to start local in Las Vegas.

Purchase price: $35,000 Cash invested: $38,000 Another flip ready in the market. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4467-Sims-St-Columbus-GA-31907/76572533_zpid/

If you are willing to live in urban areas you may want to talk to a local bank in your market and see if they have any incentives or grant loans for certain areas.  

Make sure to factor in insurance (slight change as rental), property tax (in our market is 2x a primary res), vacancy (3-5% in most markets), capex (old roof?)

I'm in the marketing field and wish I would have done construction.
