Would love to hear your progress

I also just recently paid for the PRO membership here and have started catching up on old webinar episodes.Looking forward to posting more progress as it happens and also to networking with all the helpful  and knowledgable members here on the site.I will be looking to build our team shortly - looking for agent(s), CPA, contractors and all the other integral pieces of the puzzle.

I personally wouldn't recommend draining your savings to get into a deal, but you have to evaluate your own risk tolerance.    

I'm trying to come up with my criteria on evaluating locations at the moment.

The key for us has been to evaluate the job and also the transient nature of the area.

Let us know how things progress and good luck.  

So, the best thing you can do is really shore up your evaluation by making certain the price you are asking can be justified by the comps.If the price is right, there are a few things I can recommend.  

I got hooked listening on the webinars and constantly get side tracked evaluating deals that are found on the MLS and on biggerpockets.

@Lyn HeronWhen evaluating the Charleston area, be very mindful of the characteristics of individual neighborhoods.
