I found Charleston 6 years ago .. when one of the big TV Guru's wanted me to fund 3 fix and flips for him.. which I did.one off of Ashley close to downtown and the other two or in James island. the down town one did find the other two I made money but don't think he did.I was used to funding deals in the deeper south GA AL MS and when I got that appraisal on a 1000 sq ft bungalow on Ashly for 300k I was shocked to say the least in Jackson MS that's a 100k house LOL.. although here in Portland at the time price was the same.this got me very curious so I flew out there and spent 4 days and decided it would be a great place to do rehabs and infill rehabs.. did about 6 rehabs.. those can be tough there with the age of the homes ( we are right in Charleston proper ) Although my first one was in Old Mt.

Any idea the serial number (age)?

Definitely take into consideration the age of the property.

Sounds like a perfect plan given their age and their goals.

So I’m wondering how does one get started investing in real estate at such a young age to where he/she doesn’t have a job like myself?

At your age, it is an easier way to get rolling.Rental arbitrage has a lot of risks and when you are just starting out can devastate you if things go wrong.
