My goals are to eventually rehab, buy and hold residentially and then move into the commercial industry.  

I heard Bill Murray's group is building a development near downtown Charleston using containers, a high rent area, which may be the sweet spot for this product, vs the country where folks can buy a brick ranch home for $50,000.One advantage I see is stack-ability: if you can get around 3-5 units high, that could offer nice benefits on tough/tight sites.  

Hence the creation of the HML Industry!

I have 4 duplexes and just closed on my first commercial/industrial building today.  

I don't think property here will go down because 1) in the last 30yrs, apart from a few years blips every once in a while, land values here, like all property, has continuedto increase, 2) it's still on everyone's top ten list despite the rain, and 3) the rules of our banking industry make it a very safe haven for international money (especially now with the exchange rate) and those investors are not in for the short term.You are in the very lucky position of being able to have your cake and eat it too - keep the property.  

It was made for the flipping industry, though I see so many flippers choose vacant dwelling and call it a builders risk.  

I can only imagine the wealth of wisdom you have to offer a new guy to the industry like myself.

I am looking to connect with more investors and to learn more about the industry to better serve my clients and maybe start a few investment projects of my own.

@Chris L. is spot on.

Looking forward to learning more about the industry to help myself grow in investing.
