New To Greenville, SC
Hello-
My name is Juan, 29 and I live in Greenville. I am a Engineer and I have been married for almost 3 years. I am interested in diversifying my investments. My goal is to have about about $1500-2000 of passive income.
I believe I already made my first real state investment by chance when I bought my house. I acquired a 4 bedroom 2400 sqft house in foreclosure built in 2007 for $120,000. I put around $10,000 dollars in it and it is now worth $180,000-195,000. Rent in my neighborhood seems to be going for around $1400-1600 a month.
My wife recently got a job around the Travelers Rest area so we are looking for a place around downtown Greenville. We don't want to spend much, the less the better. We would love to find a place with a basement to make an income suite.
We are mortgage free and we are looking to purchase a property next year. We are not scared of a fix it upper.
My father built a house from scratch and they also have a rental property. They don't have a lot of experience, but they should be able to provide some help.
I read the ultimate beginners guide to real state investing and have listened to some of the podcast.
I am looking to meet fellow investors and learn more about real state investment.
Thanks
