Please support this incorrect statement.

I can get it for 167k, which is the highest price paid in the community to date.

There are pockets in Greenville that could experience good rent and property value appreciation to compensate for the poor ROI on your existing house as a rental but you have to be in one of those pockets (downtown, etc.) and this strategy should be intentional and data supported rather than accidental.  

Good evening to the BP community!  

With being part of the community, I look to expand my knowledge on real estate investing and ultimately begin investing myself.

I worked as land manager for one of the largest home builders for three years just prior to the crash, but was only responsible for property due diligence, and construction of roads, utilities, and site work for large projects; not individual single family home rehabs or individual / small scale new home communities.
