Prenewbie in Greenville, SC interested in house hacking/buy&hold
Hello BiggerPockets
My name is Joshua Briscoe. I just moved my family (wife and 3 small boys) back to Greenville South Carolina. We lived for 8 years in Bangor Maine. I am a nurse working in a CVICU, but over the past year I have started to become not completely satisfied with healthcare. By accident I stumbled onto the bigger pockets you tube page and have been soaking up as much information as I can.
I am eligible for a va loan and would like to get into a house hack or possibly a brr(rrr?).
My big problem right now is finding a property that I feel I can afford and/or meets the va loan requirements.
If anyone has any suggestions in my search or is interested in partnering with me in a rental deal please contact me.
Josh
ps Maybe another suggestion is what type of contact info I should be putting out on Biggerpockets?
Joshua,
Let me be the first to welcome you to Bigger Pockets! This is a great resource that I have learned so much from. I highly recommend their podcast, @Brandon Turner’s “Book on Rental Property Investing”, his “Book on Managing Rental Properties”, and @Scott Trench’s book, “Set for Life.”
I am also in the process of moving back to Greenville, SC after living near Nashville, TN for the past 5 years while in the US Army. I am currently looking at house hack as well with a VA Loan and have even looked at possibly getting a quadplex built.
I would love to meet up sometime and talk anything real estate or bounce ideas off each other! I look forward to speaking with you!
Hey. I live in Greenville with my family, and involved in a couple investment properties. Both are near downtown, but in transitioning communities. Greenville is a very tough market right now for a buyer. Most of the properties i see that have potential will have multiple offers within 24 hours (if they are listed on the market). If I can be of any help, please let me know.

That's what we have been seeing. By the time a property pops up on realtor or our agent's site it already has multiple offers. And, I haven't seen any multifamily properties that make much sense in buying.
Everyone in this discussion is of some military affiliation and live in SC. And it seems that we are all interested in REI a meetup should happen.
I think a bunch of va guys getting together is a great idea. I'm currently under contract on a property, but after I get that all settled I will work on getting something together. I think maybe August
If someone wants to take the reigns on a get together before I'm able to get to it, please do.

Im currently deployed but August would be a phenomenal time to give it a go.
