My wife and I are wanting to start with an STR investment in our local market (Upstate South Carolina), and would just like some advice from more experienced investors, based on our current financial situation. 

Determining which cities are experiencing job growth, job diversification, rent growth and population growth can help provide some filters.

Has anyone every experienced something like this?

I'm looking for some experienced advice to help me make the right decision.

I made a decision I wanted to be surrounded by like minded investors, have that accountability and have the confidence in my decisions by having experienced coaches to call.

Would love to connect with a someone experienced to learn what I cannot get from podcasts and this site. 

@Jonathan Bell This group has many well established, experienced multifamily investors and operators.

Hello all I have Never experienced this and honestly not sure what to do.

I'd say first step is to find a good local lender in CC that is experienced in 203K loans. 

I am an experienced trade who watches pre-market to the end of the day at least 4 out of 5 times a week.
