Thanks @Keren Threlfall! I will check them out as well

Thanks @David Hanor! I am looking at 2-4 unit properties, so I will definitely check out Upstate Mortgage. 

Hi BP!

I am looking to buy my first small multifamily  property and am wondering what local banks or lenders you have had good experiences with?

Thanks!

Thank you everyone! And I will definitely look into the  UCREIA!

Thanks for the warm welcome, Anna! 

Hey guys!

My name is Matt and I just moved to Greenville a couple of weeks ago. I'm still getting familiar with the area, but I want to hit the ground running with real estate investing. Some background on me: I worked as a software engineer for a few years before I took off to travel through South America for a year. Now I'm back, and I have some money I'd like to put to better use than sitting in my bank account. I've just started searching for a new job, but I don't want that to be an excuse that stops me from getting started in real estate. I have not done any deals yet, but I am looking for small multi-family units in the upstate area.

I'm just looking to meet with some like-minded investors in the area. Additionally, I would love to hear where you guys are investing. Are there any specific towns or neighborhoods you like in the upstate area?

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hopefully meeting with as many of you as I can!

PS. I love to play disc golf, so if anyone has some local course recommendations or wants to play a round shoot me a message!

Hello Bigger Pockets!

I'm Matt and over the past few months I have become infatuated with the concept of real estate investing. I am a software engineer by training and have worked  in the aerospace industry for the past few years. But, now I see real estate as a great investment vehicle to accelerate wealth building.

I have been listening to the BP podcast and sleuthing around the forms for a while and am so grateful for all of the information that is available here! I'm excited to begin building a portfolio of rental units. I'm also interested in flips, but I just have less understanding surrounding this topic.

The twist in my story is that in two months I will be leaving the U.S. to do some extended traveling throughout the world. This has been a goal of mine for the past 3 years (well before I was conscious of these strategies for wealth building), and I'm sticking to it.  So, I am likely not planning on starting any projects here before I leave, but I want to learn as much as I can, so that I can really hit the ground running when I return.

I'm looking forward to connecting with and contributing to the BiggerPockets community!
