South Carolina is a direct-fund state with the lowest SOW $/sqft median in the network (~$36/sqft) — substantially lower than coastal states because of labor cost and material supply chains. Charleston, Greenville-Spartanburg, and Columbia run hot for fix-and-flip and BRRRR.
SC uses a judicial foreclosure process averaging ~150 days; the slower exit on distressed assets is a constraint on aggressive flip leverage. The state's population growth (driven by retirees and remote workers) supports a healthy DSCR rental market in Greenville and inland Charleston suburbs.
For fix-and-flip operators with proven systems, SC offers some of the best rehab cost economics in the desk's 14-state direct-fund footprint.
