Newbie from Beaufort, South Carolina

What's up BP nation!

I'm a new investor on the real estate scene here in Beaufort, SC. I'm 31 yrs old and I've dabbled with the idea of real estate since my early 20's. I wish I had've stuck with the idea but I have no regrets. I may not have had the ambition to complete the journey then. But I've definitely come full circle to a new determination since then.

Im familiar with the Beaufort, Columbia and Lexington areas of SC. I'm interested in building a base with wholesaling to catapult me to higher levels of rei. Ive seen and heard from this site that The Midland area of SC has a lot of potential. But I'm wondering about the Beaufort county and closely surrounding areas? Are there any contractors, agents and flipper/rehabbers here who do deals in these areas? I'm here to build new relationships, meet great people and learn from the best. Maybe you guys can give me a feel for the market in these areas. I'm also open to advice from any fellow members in the forum. Nice to meet you all.
