South Carolina's population is over 4.7 million and rapidly growing, with the tenth-fastest population growth rate in the nation at nearly 4.375%. North Carolina's warm climate, beautiful beaches and multitude of golf courses, has become the a retirement mecca of the mid-south. Rental home investors, retirees and second-home owners are in love with South Carolina's real estate affordability.

The average upscale home value ranges from $200,000 - $300,000 compared to the staggering price of a million dollars or more for Florida's upscale coastal markets, such as Naples or Palm Beach. Dollar for dollar, South Carolina's investment and retirement property shines in value.

Statewide, the average home value is about $140,000 which is $40,000 below the national average - while the median household income was an average $40,000, placing it in the bottom 10 states for household wealth.

A Rental Home Investors Dream

Lower average incomes are a clear indication of an opportunity to buy up homes for rental investments while at the same time being able to enjoy upscale retirement quality living in an affordable estate comparable to million dollar homes of Florida.
