Why Do You Invest in South Carolina? (Testimonial Request for BP)

[Lauren Hogan]

BiggerPockets! I work at BP and I'm working on building a landing page for the city of Greenville. Would anyone be willing to share why you choose to invest in the city? What makes it so wonderful?

[Morgan Eriksson]

sorry for the deled response here. I love Greenville! The housing here is still affordable, it's a safe clean city, and on top of that we are growing quickly but sustainably. Your 3 hours to the beach, 1hr to charlotte, 2 hours to atlanta, and 1 hour to mountains. It's a great place to raise a family, and despite the state school reports, Greenville schools are amazing. We are a very international city, we lead the nation in percentage of jobs linked to foreign companies. South Carolina is tied with New Jersey for the highest percentage of jobs based on foreign investment in the market. This gives the upstate of South Carolina unmatched job security. Brands like Michelin, Lockheed, BMW, Bosch, TTI (ryobi & milwaukee tool), Bauch and Lamb, Scansource, Synnex, Ingram Micro, Miliken, and Proterra all call the upstate home! On top of that it doesn't hurt the best university in the world, Clemson University is right down the road.
