:texture looks weird. looks cheap, looks like florida houses looked 30 yrs ago and most of them still have that stuff on the walls.it hides imperfections, but i dont like the looks of it.I hate texture, and never use it in Atlanta (buyers don't want it)...But, in two other markets where I rehab, buyers actually EXPECT it!

So I think pivoting can be the right move.Florida is a very pricey market, I looked at a few markets around T.B.  80k will not stretch a long way in those markets and I near that the permitting process can be a nightmare. 

What inspired you to do that versus focusing on one or two specific markets? 

It's a pleasure to be a part of the community and appreciate any and all tips and help I can receive.With that being said I'm looking to begin wholesaling in the San Antonio/Austin TX market and currently looking to meet and work with cash buyers that share similar goals. 

Questions:What money do you have to do marketing and to lock up deals?

Most major markets did that much appreciation and plenty of markets in the Midwest did even better during that time and those markets still cash flow today.

Is it off market or on? 

Thought I'd revive this thread as I too am interested in exploring the what turnkey providers might service the South Carolina market. 

Check everything like handrail on the interior stairs to make sure none of the brackets are broken, loose electrical sockets etc.It will depend on the age and condition of the house.

What is your advice for us new agents to get started in this market?
