With over 4500 condo units for sale in the Myrtle Beach area second & vacation home buyers along with real estate investors have an enormous challenge when deciding what will be the best place to purchase and enjoy all the Grand Strand has to offer.  Knowing the right place when you find it might be easy at first glance but there are many factors aside from location that must be considered.

With a budget in mind I can assist buyers in cutting through some of the clutter but how and when the units will be used could help to stretch any budget in this popular resort area and while many condo buyers may not want to be landlords, that is ideal for real estate investors that pick Myrtle Beach in order to take advantage of the influx of visitors each year. 

For some ocean front is a must but don’t forget Myrtle Beach has an abundance of golf courses and many condos right on the greens and renting or living off the beach has many advantages in addition to being able to flow cash for investors.   The amenities at any given location can be quite similar but the costs for HPR is often a factor that many buyers need to study before commiting to a purchase contract.  While one project has monthly fees that includes insurance, others do not and there can also be special assessments and unexpected expenses that can and do occur.

Even if you are paying cash for a condo unit you would want to make sure you could sell the unit to someone who might need to finance and the rules have changed when it comes to financing condo units and could change again tomorrow.  Then there are conversion units and tenant ratios and some of us like the idea of renting but the banks might not be keen on the prospect and the list goes on.

There are some great opportunities to own a condo in the Myrtle Beach area and just as many reasons why buyers continue to flock to the area for vacations each year.  Buying a second or vacation home or a condo to generate cash flow are all possible along the Grand Strand and prices have never been better.  Just make sure you do your homework prior to jumping into the Myrtle Beach condo market or at least find a REALTOR that can help you find your way around and land you in the pefect spot for you and your family.  Copyright©2011 Sandra Bundy, Broker-in-Charge, B&P, Inc.  Serving the Pee Dee and Grand Strand of South Carolina.
