Seller is going through foreclosure process ARV: $225k-255k, based on conservative comps (A buyer had put in an offer for 235k before backing out after inspection)Capital I have to work with: $35,000Rental Estimate: $1,750/mo.

While you may be able to get away with not informing the county about the change in residency status, most of the legal residence application processes in SC counties to change your assessment ratio from 6% to 4% will require you to disclose if you currently claim this status elsewhere.
