South Carolina Investor Market Overview
South Carolina's investor market is one of the most varied in the Southeast. Charleston is a coastal appreciation play with a legendary historic-district STR market (with licensing to navigate). Myrtle Beach is a high-volume vacation rental market with strong seasonal revenue. Greenville has become a real manufacturing growth story (BMW, Michelin) with steady appreciation. Columbia runs on state government and USC.
SC is non-judicial on foreclosures, landlord-friendly, and has no rent control. Coastal counties have hurricane insurance exposure that must be underwritten. Charleston's STR licensing is strict, buying a property with a legal license is critical and the license carries value.

Why DSCR Lending Fits South Carolina
South Carolina's two big STR markets, Charleston and Myrtle Beach, are both DSCR-native plays because AirDNA qualification is the only path for first-time STR buyers. Generalist lenders won't touch projections-based underwriting. Charleston also requires careful license-status underwriting that we do at intake. For Greenville's manufacturing growth investors, DSCR handles the LLC portfolios that conventional loans can't scale.
