I think a place in between Asheville and Greenville, Traveler’s Rest, will be a hidden gem for investing. 

Starting with the BP podcasts is smart the real gems often come from the stories people share.I’m involved in lending and have seen a few creative approaches newer investors are using to get started even in today’s high-rate environment.

I was just minding my own business on Zillow and came across this gem. $1,000,000+ listing with some of the greatest photos ever.

Maybe some hidden gems there?

I'll sort through it, and find the gems.  

congrats on the grad and diving into real estate in one of the toughest markets out there The Bay Area’s no joke with prices and options for sure Manufactured homes come with their own set of challenges but can sometimes be a way in if you do your homework about the land and financing Definitely connect with local realtors they often know about listings not on the big sites and can help you find hidden gems Also don’t underestimate networking with investors or lenders who know the market well If you want to bounce ideas or learn about some flexible lending options I’m around to chat Keep pushing and learning it’s a grind but worth it

Tools, a vintage fridgidaire.Years ago a buddy scored a 442 w30, took years to get title though.Alan, that’s a solid haul — a $350 change jug is no joke.

Consistency is key; keep reaching out, and you’ll find those hidden gems.

Las Vegas offers some interesting pockets for buy-and-hold, but I’ve also seen investors find gems in emerging markets beyond the usual hotspots.
