It has grown exponentially the past few years and is still set to expand like crazy with Boeing and other companies coming in to the Charleston area. 

There's a reason the area's population has grown 60% since the War on Terror began just 15 years ago.That said, do plan on higher turnover due to PCS stations often lasting a mere 3 - 5 years, deployments and the like.

About a 12-15 years ago the tv show writers were going on strike, no writers, no new shows,,so the network realized if they had 'unscripted' shows (big brother, etc etc) they could bring some new shows out during the strike.They realized that the shows were actually liked by audiences, and the cost of production (no mega stars) saved money,,,so it is grown to today's 'reality' shows on everything and all done with so much drama it makes me laugh.I loved one show that would show 'new hot water heater $1k, added value $2k", when truthfully you couldn't have sold it without the new hot water heater,,,I figured if you spent enough on  a house you could retire after one flip according to that show

I think this site is amazing and offers a ton on useful information, i hope we all grown and learn from each there..Thank you..GustavoKSWA Investments LLC   

I have grown up in Charles County all my life and I am an HVAC Contractor so my relationships with other contractors and government entities are pretty strong.

I've grown to live with the fact that I won't get all my money back but a portion of it.  

Lexington is a great town, I am partial to UK, and has really grown over the years!! 

They are houses with; a tarp on the roof, broken windows, long grass, look vacant, fence falling over, over grown bushes, shutters falling off, sometimes window units, ect.It seems that the lower the class of neighborhood, aka D areas, you could write down almost every house, where as a good candidate in an A neighborhood might require an hour of driving!

The hesitation makes sense, especially in a market that historically hasn't grown as fast as it has post-recession. 

@Rocky Pe Benito  good luck in your hunt OOS can work.. again just caution you on thinking that tenant quality works in reverse exponentially.. when you get out of PDX your in a whole nother world.PDX because of how this city and state has grown simply does not have the wide valuations of real estate. you can't drive down any street here and see 5 board ups or abandoned homes.. this is what you will find when you look at 25k doors across the country.. not to mention war zones which again is what your going to encounter at those price points.. we simply do not have that here in PDX and if your from here and have not travelled much its quite a shocker..
