Good to know

Before you buy in South Carolina

Local things that change a deal's numbers or its closing date. Check them before you make an offer.
  • South Carolina assesses a rental at 6% of its market value, against 4% for an owner's legal residence. If the seller lived in the house, your tax bill may be higher than theirs, so use the 6% figure in your numbers.
  • Recording a deed costs $1.85 for each $500 of value ($3.70 per $1,000), shared between the state and the county. Put it in your closing costs.

Questions

Loans in South Carolina: common questions

Do you offer hard money loans in South Carolina?

Yes. United Lending LLC offers private real estate financing for investors in South Carolina: short-term fix and flip and bridge loans sized on the deal, 30-year DSCR loans sized on the rent, and construction and multifamily financing quoted per deal. We're headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, and lend nationwide.

Do you lend in South Carolina?

Yes. United Lending LLC offers business-purpose financing on investment property across South Carolina, including Charleston, Columbia, Greenville and Myrtle Beach. Tell us the property's address on the form and a loan officer will confirm the details on the first call.

Which loans can I get for a South Carolina property?

Fix and flip loans of up to 95% of the price and 100% of the rehab budget, and bridge loans up to 95% loan-to-cost, both on 12–18 months interest-only terms. DSCR rental loans are 30-year loans on 1–4 unit rentals, fixed or adjustable, up to 85% loan-to-value on a purchase and 80% on a cash-out refinance; those are separate limits, not one combined offer. Construction and multifamily loans are quoted per deal. All limits are subject to appraisal and underwriting, and every loan is for property you invest in, not a house you or a relative will occupy.

Is there a prepayment penalty on a South Carolina loan?

There's no prepayment penalty on fix and flip or bridge loans. DSCR rental loans come with a choice of prepayment terms, from none up to five years, set out in your written terms before you commit.

Do I need to live in South Carolina or have an LLC there?

No. Many of our borrowers invest outside the state they live in. You can borrow in your own name or through an LLC; if the LLC was formed in another state, your loan officer will tell you what's needed before closing.
