South Carolina is a fast-growing DSCR market driven by Charleston's lifestyle in-migration, Greenville-Spartanburg's BMW/Michelin manufacturing base, and Myrtle Beach's STR economics. Charleston historic-district STR is restricted (operator-occupancy + permit cap); Myrtle Beach remains the more accessible STR market with seasonal nightly-rate volatility. Columbia anchors stable USC student housing and state-government LTR.
