Distortedlogic, thanks very much for your suggestions and heads up. We know certain areas of the grand strand are crazy during the warmer months. During these months, would Murrell's Inlet be far enough away from the problems, yet be close enough to shopping and doctors? We would be open to Wilmington, but we're leaning heavily towards Charleston area for a permanent home. We want a multi-unit building with a 3 brm home for us, and 2 units to rent out. (We wonder why investors don't buy up these investment properties as soon as they hit the market.) Don't know where McClennanville is but we need within 30 minutes of the beach. I'll look up the other areas you stated. It takes an hour for us to get to the beach now, and it's really too long for us for a day trip. Husband is retired, and I will hopefully be getting started as a newbie landlord.
Since you specifically mentioned Murrell's Inlet or Little River, I can tell you that prior to moving to Little River, we often stayed at The SleepIn in Little River-right on Rt. 17. I can only speak about the conditions 5-6 years ago, but I highly recommend that hotel.
