What are good areas to invest in or around Charleston, SC?

[Christian Carter]

My wife and I are looking to buy a single family home in the Charleston, SC area. We plan on renting it out for 90% of the year and spending a little time there in the winter. Ideally we would like to buy a fixer-upper. My main question is what area should I be looking in? Obviously I want the property to be in a nice section so I can attract decent tenants (vacationers). Where should I be looking? Does anyone know the decent towns touching Charleston and the towns I should be staying away from near Charleston?

Thanks for the help!

You need to stay outside of the City of Charleston since they have strict short term rental rules that’s require owner to occupy. Suggest one of the island communities such as Folly, IOP or Sullivan’s but check the local regs where ever you go.
