- 1. Post-Acquisition Tax Reassessment Trigger
- South Carolina 6% Investment Assessment Ratio: Non-owner-occupied investment properties are assessed at 6% of fair market value (plus non-exempt school operating millage), roughly 2.5x–3x owner-occupied 4% taxes.
- 2. Hazard, Windstorm & Catastrophe Insurance Tier
- Grand Strand Condotel & Coastal STR Wind/Flood Zone
- 3. Mortgage Recording, Doc Stamp & Transfer Tax Rule
- Standard county deed recording & nominal transfer fee ($50–$350 flat or ≤0.20% of consideration).
- 4. Wholesale Escrow & Tax-Reduction Strategy
- Underwrite post-acquisition tax bill using county millage calculator to prevent Year-2 escrow shortage.
