Post: Real estate investing in South Carolina: Worth it at 6% property tax?

Hey Eli, 

Great question on the 6% and it does play a factor into the cash flow. We always advise our investors on verifying with the lender or us reaching out to the tax assessor's office to get a good idea of what the taxes are. My long term rentals are located in SC, also in a city, and they play a big role in the numbers. Be sure to team up with an agent that knows the area and also the investment strategies that are best for that area. The 6% is a downside to investing in SC but the appreciation over time in the right areas makes it worth it all.

Sounds like he has a great set up to be able to attain both in this scenario. HELOCs have come in handy for my wife and I to acquire rentals for cash. This sounds like he has ample enough to be able to contribute to a coastal home. 

Good luck and let me know if we can help you in any capacity!

Hey @Stephanie Chapman, we live in SC and have our LTR's located here and have also invested in TN for our STR's. Both are great states to invest in along with NC and GA. Like @Peter Nikic mentioned, take your pick. They can work out for landlord friendly states. Good luck!!

The Upstate of SC is a great place to invest! Greenville/Spartanburg area. Excellent rental market, growing with industry, and low unemployment (low turnover due to job situations on average). You'll love it!
