Hard money, fix and flip and DSCR loans in Myrtle Beach, SC

Myrtle Beach sits on the Grand Strand, a 60-mile stretch of beach, and its economy runs on tourism, with more than 20 million visitors a year. Investors buy houses and condos to rent by the night or long term, so check the zoning before you plan nightly rentals. The Intracoastal Waterway separates the city from the mainland, so development stays close to the coast. The Market Common, on the former air force base, adds newer apartments and shops.
