In addition to population growth and job growth, I am looking at:- Unemployment and poverty rates- Job sector diversity and service industry growth - Foreclosure and vacancy rates - Local leadership and vision for future growth - Average age of residents, % of ages 18-65 in the workforce- Rent to purchase price ratio (purchase price / average annual rent total)

A good source of deals in the Greenville area would be joining the Facebook group 'Greenville SC Real Estate Investors' Group (I have no incentive to promote this group, they are just a great source of connecting with others who wholesale, flip, invest) @Hersh Shah could help you in the Atlanta, GA market and has helped many investors in that area! 

So far I am thinking; a retired farmer (money in CDs), retired business man that had lots of real estate in his younger years (familiar with rentals) widow who has a large estate and does not like the volatility of stocks, retired customer who sold business and has large sums and I would assume is looking for diversity etc...I guess my thought is: come up with a plan, get over the hesitation how ever you need to do it (I hate the 'selling side' of busienss, I want to 'create') work that plan one step at a time, and educate yourself as much as possible.Dan Dietz
