Thank you so much for the deep insights.I just completed my third trip checking out properties in Charleston and your comment definitely helped me out with house hunting.First of all, your comments in tandem to conversation within my network made me re-think of what exactly is my goal with real estate in Charleston?

Hey Jerell, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

Or, is it smart to have your job, all your real estate, stocks and everything in one single country and at the whim of a single government?

Hi Marcus,Congrats on starting your real estate journey!

Whilst I run to get my real estate license for the MLS I wanted to get somewhat of a feel for the market, what better way to do that then ask someone who's already invested. 

My real estate journey began in Pennsylvania as a homeowner and investor and was reignited when I moved to Atlanta, Georgia.

I recently spoke to a property management firm that told me their clients don't experience any pain with financials or taxes Jan - April. 

I’ve been thinking about getting into real estate but have been having a couple concerns before buying my first property. 

@Gerardell BrownMoving from owning a home to investing in real estate starts with a loan for first-timers, making you live there for a year minimum.
