Chad Carson
Meet the expert
Before real estate investing Chad graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from Clemson University where he was a Rhodes Scholar finalist and a 2-year captain of the football team as a linebacker.
Chad began real estate investing from scratch right out of college at the age of 23. Since that time Chad and his business partner have bought well over 100 properties, and today they still actively buy, sell, and manage a portfolio of rentals and notes in and around Clemson, SC.
Chad’s expertise in real estate is creative deal-making and financing. Most of his real estate acquisitions do not use bank or conventional financing. Instead Chad uses leases, options, seller financing, private lending, and other creative techniques to safely make more profits and cash flow without depending upon traditional financing sources.
When not doing deals, writing, or teaching, Chad also has a passion for improving his local community and for exploration and long-term travel.
Currently Chad is the president of the board for the Friends of the Green Crescent, a non-profit based in Clemson, SC working to connect the greater Clemson-Central-Pendleton area with a better system of walking and biking trails. Chad is also a member of the City of Clemson Planning Commission and a member of the board of trustees at his church.
Chad and his wife have spent extended periods of time in South America, Costa Rica, Mexico, Spain, and National Parks in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, and the Dakotas. They now enjoy sharing their wanderlust and love of foreign languages with their children.
