Girl POWER! Thrilled to find this post! Bigger Pockets - How do we get a female group started! We need each other's support! I am in Greenville, SC. I am a real estate broker and investor. I own three rental properties and am looking to add to my portfolio. I'd love to buy a house I can use as a short term rental this year! I'd love to connect with other ladies, especially if you are in my area. Lets have coffee! I drive all over SC and NC for work so happy to connect with other ladies across the Carolinas in person!

Hi Katie! I am a local investor in Greenville, SC. Our local Real Estate Investor Association started back their monthly meetings in person in September. Thank you for your service! 

Hi Kevin,

Nicholtown is a transitional area. It is in the middle of a lot of change and is turning but it may take a while. There are lots of great contractors in the area but most are very busy right now. I'm sure you can find a few that are happy to take on new projects but you may have to call through your list to find them. There are many fixer upper opportunities all over the county. Many houses in desirable areas were built in the 50s and 60s so a lot of opportunities! Consider the schools that the homes you are looking at are zoned for. Many Greenville buyers buy in specific areas because of schools.

Hey Susan,

Check with Mandy Crain at Carolina Moon Realty. She is in the TR area. Keller Williams Upstate Greenville Upstate (Teresa Cox) may be a good option as well. Most of the big companies will collect a monthly fee from you if your license is active. If you get your brokers license, you can hang your license under your own company. That may be the most economical way.

The city and county are spending a lot of money on infrastructure upgrades in Greenville to ensure that future development is possible and can continue at its current pace. There is new construction popping up all over the downtown area in every tiny crevice possible. Older neighborhoods are being flipped. Old abandoned mills are being bought up and turned into condos. There are new hotels, mixed used development, plans for a new conference center, a new park in downtown and lots more. 

Hey Nick - I did some digging and found Lake Lanier in South Carolina - near Tryon. I grew up in GA and had only heard of that one! I've lived in Greenville for 10 years and had not heard about South Carolina's Lake Lanier.

Hey Nick - I am live in Greenville SC. Lake Lanier is in Georgia north of Atlanta. Did you mean Lake Hartwell? How can I help?

I am a local agent investor. I just purchased a property in the Sans Souci area and see opportunities there. The Taylors and Mauldin areas also have good opportunities. I think that downtown will continue to appreciate, especially if you are looking to buy and hold.
