South Carolina market

[Stephanie Mansfield]

My husband and I are looking for a change in scenery and want to relocate to a place that’s good for flipping houses. I was looking into smaller towns in South Carolina like Mullins, we wanted a warmer winter😁, but wanted to see what places in South Carolina were good for flipping? Mullins seems like houses might not sell very fast, but we are newbies so any advice on Mullins and The S.C. market in general would be extremely helpful!!

Hi Stephanie,
The area you are looking is not well developed - lots of agriculture and not urban at all. Which means low paying jobs and a smaller buyer pool.  I'm in Greenville, which is one of the hottest markets in the Southeast. This area is great for sellers, but there's lots of competition for flippers. There's a lot of manufacturing in SC = low unemployment = huge need for housing. Follow the jobs and you'll find your sweet spot. You are always going to be better off looking at bedroom communities of larger urban areas. The sprawl is very real around here and other than Charleston and Columbia, traffic is manageable, so people don't mind commuting.
