Either way im a HUGE sports fan and listen to sports radio all day and recently felt like I discovered fire finding out about bigger pockets so ive made the transition to trying to catch up with the podcasts.

If you want a crystal ball, understanding price action in leading indicators like the stock market will be your best bet.

Now I'm not saying you'll never want to purchase a sports car, ATV or fancy personal residence but just to know the difference.

Finally, unless the town is very close to Charleston, SC I'd bet you're not going to see a huge turnaround (which is what you'd need) in anything less than 10+ years (or ever?)

From what I've learned, wholesaling looks to be my best bet for starting off as my funds low.

I bet if you find a deal, it won't be so hard getting the financing. 

I have friends that are still upside down big in Jax Beach on properties from the crash so I would not bet on appreciation at all.

Many times it is lower or non existent, you are betting on future values not cash flow.  

Absolutely.Put on some nice slacks, sport coast and shirt with a collar.Just sit quietly and watch and listen.

I bet they will be great when you get them printed.
