- Most people dream about buying a home near or on the beach. Most of the time beach properties are far too expensive to actually pull off for most of us in the United States. Do you want to know where is the cheapest place you can live on the beach in the United States?
Today, I’m showing you a property you can actually buy and fully own for under $100K! Right on the beach! If you have always wanted to live on the beach, and you thought you could never afford to do so, think again! Whether your want to use it as a full-time residency, as a second home, or even as a vacation rental, coastal living has never been so affordable. Living at the beach may seem expensive, but there are some beach cities that are surprisingly affordable and are perfect to Live or retire.
The property in this video even has a great view of the beach and ocean, and lots of amenities on site.

Hello! I've been watching your channels & it's very informative. I learned a lot. Thank you! Keep it up👍 & keep us educated! Anyways, I'm still undecided whether to buy a condo or a single family for rental investment. I've been browsing through websites. My dream is to live by the ocean or near the beach when i retire🥰. I want to buy for investment for now then retire MB in the future (10 yrs from now) What's your advice?
@@joen899 So glad you are enjoying these videos here on this channel. My suggestion is to stop looking online. The best deals are not there. Pick up the phone call our office and let's set up some time to chat at 843-839-9870. WE are glad to share a ton of super helpful info with you. Talk soon!
Unfortunately that $482.00 a month might be $1000 a month in 5 years, you literally can never trust any HOA's ever!
Thanks for watching and commenting
Or a $120k assessment
After 1 year since this video was posted the new HOA is $530
@@davidframe1613 lucky. Mine went up BY $750mo
@@hokeywolf3416 that's the scary thing. Major structural repairs could soon be needed on these 40+ year old buildings built in the sand with all the salt in the air. For a 12+ story building, structural repairs could run in the $15 million to $25 million range...or maybe even higher. That's a $100K+ assessment per unit probably.
I was at the initial sale probably back in 2012-2013- somewhere around there...they had just been converted from hotel rooms to condos and were giving tours of all the units. You could have purchased for around $32K.
Efficiency units are developer speak for micro apartments which are the size of dorm rooms. What we were looking at was not an example of an efficiency unit. Also, it's important to talk about HOA dues as they can be more than double your mortgage payment There are no bargains in real estate.
Thanks for watching
I use to live in that building for a year. It’s definitely not the nicest on the strip but a lot of units are privately owned and taken care of well like the unit I was in. I paid 1600 a month for a very similar unit!
Thanks for sharing your story
Where can I snow bird for cheap ? say couple months over the nasty winters? Anyplace you might recommend? for a good price for seniors. ?
@@rockerdad2 lots of options for snowbirds for cheap. I recommend calling the caravelle Myrtle beach, casagomb does a lot of snowbird rentals cheap at landmark, palace and plenty others. Sun & Sand resort on the southern end usually has good deals as well as the vacasa resorts (Patricia grande, ocean park resort, Camelot by the sea & others). A studio/ one bed room with a kitchen will run anywhere from 800-1200 a month. If your looking for any cheaper I know there’s some sketchy places for like 29 a night all over lol
What is the name of that building?
Great info as always Thank Jerry Keep up the good vlogs
Thank you for your kind words and support! We're glad to have you as a subscriber and we'll continue to bring you the best real estate advice out there.
I DON'T TRUST nor do I WANT any property owned by an HOA. One year from now they will probably double the fees. Hell w/ that. And Myrtle Beach is in hurricane paths besides.
I called the office # regarding this condo. You have to pay $94,000 cash, can't get loan on less than $100,000. Also building was built in 1977 before laws against lead based paint. Also located in undesirable area, not good rental unit for investment income.
Thanks for watching and commenting. You are right, this condo complex is considered condotel, and these types of properties have bank loan limitations. The unit has some rental income... but never said that this was the best-performing property or a high return on investment. This is THE least expensive condo on the beach in the USA! And that was the point of the video, "The Cheapest Place to live on the Beach in the US". Have you seen the other helpful videos here on this channel about buying vacation rentals:

We stayed at the Sea Mist several times over the years on our yearly golf trips. Fun times
Very smart home,with ocean view I buy one soon,keep it up bro
The condos are affordable it is the hoa fees which are more expense than your mortgage payment
I highly recommend buying one of these units! They are great money makers and they are great for vacations and retirement.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Your right! Some units do better than others, but there are a handful of resort complexes where the condo units are real income generators! :) Jerry Pinkas Real Estate Experts 843-839-9870 :)
you're@@JerryPinkas
It's more like a hotel room than a condo. No kitchen sink or space. Definitely an investment rental not something to live in full time. In my opinion.😉
You are correct. It's the least expensive beach property in the nation! There are many others that are better, in the next steps of price points, but Myrtle Beach offers some of the lowest prices for beach properties in the United States. We have a lot of super helpful info, to share, Just give us a call at 843-839-9870. Talk soon
I lived in one that size for a year in Florida. I had a full kitchen and large closet, so a tiny bit bigger. I would say, the downs here are the "condotel" environment, just tourists making tons of racket and crowding the beach and pool areas. When I did it, it was apartments only, no other rental, and before AirBnb or the internet even existed. So it was humble but luxurious too, and you could hear a pin drop most of the time. Old ladies would yell at me, if I walked out to the beach without a shirt on. Very different. And to sink $100k cash into something is very different, since you could make a huge down-payment on something very nice, and tough out a mortgage for as long as you can tolerate. Good to see there is stuff around that can be bought on a budget.
That is a hotel
@@jeanettebennett2421 It's one of the cheapest beach properties in the nation.! Thi is a condotel, which is a condo that operates more like a hotel. Individuals own each unit, although the complex shares amenities like lobby registration and cleaning service. When owners are away from the property, they have the option to make income by renting their condo out for short-term vacation stays. It's one of the cheapest beach properties in the nation.! Thanks for watching
@@BrisLS1 Thanks for watching and sharing
I want something that’s affordable on the West Coast of Florida near Fort Myers that’s walking distance to the beach that has a low HOA. Can you do a video on that?
thank you! I'm making a change! i want this life!
Thanks for watching and commenting! So glad you are enjoying these videos. Keep working towards you goals and You will live on the beach one day! See you in the next video.
Kinda like motel 6 on the beach !
Maybe! But it is the cheapest place on the beach in The United States! Thanks for watching and commenting
Awesome stuff. I'm a couple of years away from grabbing something like this, but it is on my mind. Just would have to cash flow.
Thank you for watching, commenting and enjoying the videos here on this channel. I'm so glad to have you thinking ahead top your future! Just let us know when your ready, we have lots of super helpful info to share with you.
I was there in MB a few Buildings from this one.
Upon being on the beach you want an Ocean View of the said beach.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Zillow does show some decent options around $150k. How do you assess the financial stability of the association? Getting hit with a $50k assessment for structural repairs or something could be a real shock to the budget. Coastal denizens I have met suggest renting so when a hurricane approaches you skate with your go bag and come back after the landlord makes all the fixes.
Zillow is a 3rd party site based out of Seattle, WA so of course it does not show all your options that are truly available. As far as your other questions there is no wat to type a response with as much helpful info as we can share. We have a lot of super helpful info, to share, Just give us a call at 843-839-9870.

Myrtle beach coast doesn’t get hit with much damage from hurricanes. Most of these larger resorts are structural sound and usually only smaller run down motels are damaged. Flooding is minimal and if your not on the ground floor you don’t need to worry about much.
Fantastic Video
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed this helpful video.
Jerry, It is amazing what you can get in the Myrtle Beach area for such a great price and value - Sam
It really is amazing that there is a place in the United States, where you can actually buy a place on the beach for under $100,000! Thanks for watching and commenting Sam.
Very cute!
"Sorry, honey, I know you're on the toilet but I need to wash the dishes."
Lol. But it is the cheapest condo on the beach in the United States.
Scott (Hamilton) glad to see you doing so well after your olympic skating career.
LOL, Thanks for watching.
I live on the beach in Waianae, Hawaii for $750 a month at Makaha Surfside.
What about the kitchen? I didn't see it? And just like "timeshare"--I bet those Homeowners Association Fees per month continually go up each year! I wonder where they started, when the building was completed?
Yeah, just for curiosity I started looking about at HOA fees, and regime fees in Myrtle Beach And some of them are more than I’m paying for my Mortgage on my non-beach town house
Good Question! When looking at any HOA, just make sure you compare 'apples to apples and check what is actually included in those HOA fees'. (what your actual total expenses really are) For instance, does your non-beach townhouse INCLUDE: Homeowners insurance, contents, and renters insurance, flood insurance, cable TV, Internet and wifi, pool service, elevator tor service, groundskeeping, grass cutting, on-site manager, lawn irrigation, hot tubs, lazy rivers, exterior maintenance, etc. The view of a beach condo can be amazing too. Many times if you added up all these individual expenses, it would be many more times higher, if you bought these on your own compared to everything that is already included in that beach condo HOA fee. Ecxh building complex can be different so be sure you get all the details of what is or is not included. Thanks for watching and commenting.
We live in a house by the Jersey Shore no HOA. We have a small private beach very close an it’s clean . I will never live in a HOA. They can raise the fees to whatever amount they want and u have no say. And if anything needs repaired or maintained, guess what, u have to chip in and pay along with everyone else. Being right on the beach is not always great, hurricanes happen more often . Flooding is very real . We used to vacation to Myrtle beach . It got old fast. We stopped going, the water was just as nasty as here and the beach just as dirty. If I ever live by the beach it won’t be here, maybe in Hawaii or Virgin Islands . We’ve gone there as well and THAT is where u want to live . Just my opinion and experience.
Very nice I will call you when ready
Thanks for watching and commenting. We are here to help you avoid the pitfalls that are costly. Just let us know when you are ready at 843-839-9870.
Thanks for scaring me away from Florida!
Lol, Thanks for watching
Wow I think that this is a great price for this property.I live in south carolina and I have never seen in h o a incorporate your flood and insurance in your hoa price. Down here in Beaufort County you are paying for that yourself. Now when you said it includes heat. That's interesting also period but it doesn't include air conditioning?
Yes, air conditioning as well. :) lad you enjoyed this helpful video. Thanks for watching and commenting
HOA could change their fees anytime they want. H.O.As can't be trusted. They are a greedy bunch
Some of these people are being so judge mental. Talking about broken teeth and riff raft. All beaches have tourist if all kinds. The condo purchase would require at least a person that has good credit and some savings. As for the broken tooth maybe he chipped it and has not been able to get into a dentist to have it fixed or get a partial or implant for the tooth. Geez appreciated the info. I just want to retire affordably so I can actually have a roof over my head and still travel to other nice places and not have to stay put due to income limitations. Thanks for the video !
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed this helpful video. Let my team know if we can answer any questions or help your with real estate. :) Have a great day!
Not a bad ocean view for under $100K. Review of the resort is not that great. A lot of 1 star reviews.
Thanks for watching and commenting. As they say you do get what you pay for and in this case it is THE least expensive beachfront property in the nation! There are many other solid choices for just a little more...if you are interested. Just give us a call at 843-839-9870 and we can email you the details on some of the others as well.
ya daa of course on the east cost you can find places ware you are able to buy to live on the beach there for around 100k try to find a place on the west cost you can not find and buy a place round 100k at all this is ware the phrase comes from in the first place that you can not buy a place at the beach any more from the west cost not the east cost. i guss the only other place would be some places in florida but even there you can buy places on the beach there too and when i say on the west cost i am mostly taalking about California for it does take up most of the west cost any ways.
Thanks for watching
Can you tell me if the crime in that particular area where that condo is, the same three times higher violent crime rate for Myrtle Beach than the rest of the country according to online demographics and crime rates?
looks nice not sure about buying. How much per month one year lease?
Great
Glad you enjoyed this helpful video
Jerry do you have thoughts on Satellite Beach Florida ?
Myrtle Beach is nice in the winter
Do you have any videos or thoughts on the Deerfield community
condos in Surfside? Thanks
We don't have any videos about that community...but I do have one of my agents who lives in Deerfield and can give you a ton of helpful info. Give our office a call at 843-839-9870 and lets set up some time to chat.
When those units rent some times ( rent )is a 60/40 split
Thank you for video! How much are property taxes on Myrtle Beach?
In South Carolina you will enjoy an average effective tax rate of just 0.57%, the Fifth-Lowest property tax rate in the United States. Whether you intend to live year-round or just visit, you will almost certainly save on your annual tax bill. We have a lot of super helpful info, to share, Just give us a call at 843-839-9870.

Love the guy missing a tooth. You too can own a piece of hillbilly heaven!
But, it’s not directly on the beach like you say. Come on.
In his defense, he had to make a choice, live on the beach or have dental work done. He made the right choice imo
OMG, I thought this was a random joke until I got to the end of the video. Crazy funny.......
Hurricane and flooding risk is the biggest danger on east coast beach areas. What precautions can one take to avoid losing everything in hurricane prone areas?
Watch the weather and have good insurance. If you're that worried about hurricanes, you probably shouldn't consider living full time in that area.
100% truth! Thanks for sharing your story
Thanks for watching.
He still didn’t answer her question
@@JustanotherLisa I think @maximusextreme3725 said it well: watch the weather and have good insurance. But I’ll add more: life is full of risks, but we all take precautions, everyday. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tells us 42,795 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes last year, but we still drive cars and think nothing of driving. The good news is we also know where hurricanes hit: top 10 hurricane states on record:
1. Florida: 120 hurricanes (37 were Category 3 through Category 5)
2. Texas 64 hurricanes (19 were Category 3 through Category 5)
3. North Carolina: 55 hurricanes (7 were Category 3 through Category 5)
4. Louisiana: 54 hurricanes (17 were Category 3 through Category 5)
5. South Carolina: 30 hurricanes (5 were Category 3 through Category 5)
6. Alabama 24 hurricanes (5 were Category 3 through Category 5)
7. Georgia 22 hurricanes (3 were Category 3 through Category 5)
8. Mississippi 19 hurricanes (8 were Category 3 through Category 5)
9. New York: 15 hurricanes (3 were Category 3 through Category 5)
10. Massachusetts 12 hurricanes (1 was a Category 3)
Yet people still live in those states. And you have days notice to evacuate and a storm strength rating before it hits, so you can leave town.
Many have storm shutters, or have built to hurricane force winds. But nothing is guaranteed. Some people do not risk getting in a car for fear of a crash, and don’t experience the rest of the world. It’s all about choices. Choosing to stay out of a flood zone, buying a better construction property and even choosing the right state, right location and being informed to the smartest options. I know you say he didn’t answer…but the truth is…There is no easy or right answers. Hope this helps you though.
Jerry I would love to talk to you about nurture beach property on beach

Pretty expensive for what amounts to a hotel room with a nearly $500 a month HOA.
Myrtle
For $94,000 you get those small windows on the back side as your picture window. No Ocean view.
Oh wow! Where else can you go in the United States at the beach for so little money? Of course you can buy 1,2or 3 bedroom condo directly on the beach in some other building for more if you are conversing with small windows and a better ocean view. Thanks for watching
It’s definitely a good deal! It’s not the best but for 100k and a low hoa this is a steal! I lived in the area and this isn’t the hot spot for rentals but it’s still nice and close to the hot spots
@@dancingwithtiktokyt Thanks for watching and sharing your story.
Probably HOA. Is $800
and how much is the HOA ? those beach condos are like 900 usd a month or something.
You obviously didn't watch the entire video.
It’s in the video. Home owners association fees are $482 month, in the video I give complete breakdown.
I wouldn't care if it was 10k I wouldn't want to live by any beaches especially in Fla.
Just wanted to be sure you know this video in Myrtle Beach South Carolina!
Buy 2 of those. Live 1 rent 1. Easy.
Cheapest place at the beach in the USA! Thanks for watching
Or live in one and use the other to store all your stuff. lol
So 408 a month for HOA plus the price of the condo?
Correct! Where else in the United States can you be at the beach for this much money? Thanks for watching.
Is Myrtle Beach a safe place to live, the county in Myrtle Beach is as bad as Chicago for crime. I visited Myrtle Beach about four years and I attended a council of preachers at the library that has different people talking about crime and homicides in the county of that area.
I did a video about that, did you see it? Is Myrtle Beach Safe? - Myrtle Beach Crime - ua-cam.com/video/yjyrnu2uYxQ/v-deo.html
Some of that will depend on specifically where and when you go, right? There's going to be livelier/rougher areas, and then there'll be less busy areas as well. I was born and raised in Joliet (pre-2000's). I've lived in SC now for the majority of my adult life. I've gone to conferences a couple times a year in Myrtle Beach for over 10 years now. One is in the summer, and the other is in the fall when it's not as busy. If you're going down on the main strip at night during a summer week when it's mostly young people, then yeah, it's going to be a lot crazier, If you're going to a grocery store or Walmart, you'll probably not think of it any differently except there's a lot more people in beachwear.
Back in 2020, I was saving to buy a beachfront condo with the intentions to rent all year, and when I retire, use it to live in a few months of the year. I had to change those plans temporarily back in 202, but hopefully I'll be back on track for the plan in a year or two.
it only appears bad because of the 20 million visitors every summer and the crime that unfortunately comes with these large numbers. It looks worse than it is because Myrtle Beach city only has like 25,000 residents. When you take those numbers, crime looks bad for the population size. A great area to live is just outside the Myrtle Beach limits in places like Carolina Forest or Forrestbrook. Good schools and relatively low crime. I came here from VA about 15 yrs ago and wouldn't change a thing.
What are the property taxes?
Give the office a call 843-839-9870 and we can send you the detail sheet.
Is the indoor pool heated?

Unfortunately that so called "resort" that the company calls it is a "shit-hole." I stated their a few yes ago and it was disgusting. Even the area location is bad. Not the kind of place u wanta walk around at night.

We stayed for 5 days and had to mop and clean everyday to keep the moldy smell out our room. Looks like a homeless shelter 😞😞😞😞
looking over another building is not oceanfront.

Myrtle Beach SC has the cheapest beachfront property in the nation.
This was a hotel turned into apartments. That's all.
Funny,...so, sounds like you know of a cheaper place located in the United States that's on the beach? Of course there are bigger and more luxurious condos here in Myrtle Beach SC, but there do get a little price than this one. Thanks for watching.

Oh wow! LOL...Yes, I have been there many times, and know this resort and just about every single report like the back of my hand for the 65 miles of South Carolina Grand Strand... thank you!
In that condo for $94 k the bedroom is in the living room area. Almost $500.00 monthly in fees is pretty much up there. Also, what about hurricanes coming thru ? Has Myrtle Beach ever been pounded and damaged by hurricanes. Are these condos built to withstand hurricanes. Are the built better than the "collapsible" condos that self imploded due to builders cutting corners ????.😕😕😕😕😕😕🙃🙃🙃🙃
This IS the CHEAPEST Condo On The Beach in the United States! It's not the taj mahal but it is a cheap place at the beach!
It is what is! This unit does Not have a living room, and as the pictures show, it is a small efficiency-style condo. But realize what IS included: Cable TV, high-speed Internet, electric, water, fire insurance, flood insurance, pools, security, exterior groundskeeping, and more. If you owned a house, and added all those expenses together, the combination of all that would be A LOT more than the HOA fees...and it's on the beach! Yes, there are hurricanes in Myrtle Beach but here are the actual stats for the worst states and their numbers: 10 U.S. States Where Hurricanes Hit Most Often:
1. Florida: 120 hurricanes (37 were Category 3 through Category 5)
2. Texas 64 hurricanes (19 were Category 3 through Category 5)
3. North Carolina: 55 hurricanes (7 were Category 3 through Category 5)
4. Louisiana: 54 hurricanes (17 were Category 3 through Category 5)
5. South Carolina: 30 hurricanes (5 were Category 3 through Category 5)
6. Alabama 24 hurricanes (5 were Category 3 through Category 5)
7. Georgia 22 hurricanes (3 were Category 3 through Category 5)
8. Mississippi 19 hurricanes (8 were Category 3 through Category 5)

$500 is low considering it includes the electric, water, sewer, cable tv, building insurance, pools, elevators, etc. The only real risk is potential structural issues at some point on 40+ year old buildings and the salty air. A building collapsed years back in FL killing almost 100. Also, one of the towers in Myrtle Beach was recently deemed unsafe and residents had to leave for 3 months while repairs were made. These types of structural repairs, I've read from like places in FL, can run into the 10's of millions depending on what needs to be done. One condo association in FL just sent out special assessments over $100K for these kinds of needed repairs. Don't think that can't happen here.
Misinformed information definitely!
