We bought an oceanfront condo years ago and if we knew this information then we wouldn't have bought one. As a full time resident, you have to deal with rentals with drunks and loud people on the balcony when you just want to sit outside and hear the waves. We have decided to sell and buy a house with NO HOA. The rules for HOAs here are ridiculous and the monthly fees continue to increase every year.
Thanks Jeremy, that is exactly the information I need to be thinking about. I appreciate your videos and will be looking you up in a couple of years when I am ready to buy.
We closed on a condo in 2019 in Surfside Beach to eventually retire in the area, but using for a vacation home now. We lucked out and have a water view and the building is super quiet with very considerate, friendly neighbors (except during truck week with those loud engines!). The HOA is not too bad and covers insurances, pool, trash, landscaping, etc. There was a recent assessment of 2K which was kind of a shock, but the recent improvements they have done have made the place look amazing, so it's all been worth it. It's been a good decision for us.
Thanks J good vid for those who no nothing about HOA / POA life. I see people complain after they have bought and some literally say "I did not know this was an HOA and it has fee's, assessments, special assessments etc To those people I say wow, seriously ? Just like any other purchase in life you have to do your research first. Have no sympathy for those who don't. Blaming realtors, attorneys, friends is not right, it's their own fault for not doing the proper research. 99%, if not 100% of the time, they are given written documents that they refuse to read. This segment should have been called Buying into an HOA for Dummies...ha
Wish I'd known about the assessment fees. That would've been a deal breaker. My realtor didn't mention a word. He was the worst. As always, love ur videos
Jeremy, fantastic presentation. As a condominium finance professional, I find it refreshing when a broker goes out of his way to find what a home buyer really wants and needs by sharing his expertise honestly.
Thanks Jeremy, I feel like you made this video just for me. You were very articulate and concise. The assessments are something I hadn’t thought about. Here you are happily knowing exactly what your monthly fee’s are and then: surprise-Price !
Hi Jeremy, I'm moving to Surfside Beach next weekend. I'm buying a condo in Golf Colony. It will be my primary (and only) residence. How do I register myself as a SC resident to get the lower property taxes?
Once you have closed you will need to register your vehicle & do the necessary steps to become a SC resident. Your attorney should go over this in detail with you & give you the necessary documents you will need to complete.
If u could give me a list of factory's and small apartments in the area I'm thinking about moving in about 2 or 3 years I'm single and looking to move south thank u
We just got back from a week at Ocean Creek Resort in the North tower. The resort and view were awesome. I found condos online there for $375-400k. HOA's look like they run around $800 a month. We drove down to the Golden Mile and houses for sale down there ran $2 million+ so the condo is the best bank for the buck on the ocean!
@@jeremyblanton that's great to know! We are really missing it and I could see having a place there in the future. You really feel away from the hustle and bustle of the area once you drive past security and drive through the grounds!

And these are the same people that won't follow the HOA rules.
You make a lot of good points Jeremy. Thank you for your insight.

Sorry it wasn’t mentioned to you!

An honest broker, wow!
Jeremy you the man 👨
What kind of high commission sales jobs are in the area ?
So refreshing to hear an honest businessman---but, as you know-- it works! treating people fairly.
Thanks for the tips
Hello JB, I'll call you when I get there, I really need your help with rental apartments

Unfortunately when it comes to manufacturing type of jobs, Myrtle Beach does not really have a lot of these types of jobs.

Ocean Creek is a Beautiful Resort! I just sold a unit there over the weekend in one of the towers!
@@jeremyblanton that's great to know! We are really missing it and I could see having a place there in the future. You really feel away from the hustle and bustle of the area once you drive past security and drive through the grounds!
Going from 3000 sq ft on 2.5 acres with no homeowners fees to a condo on the beach will be a huge change, but we're looking forward to it.
Let me know if I can help you make the move!
@@jeremyblanton we’ve had several other realtors try to get us to sign a contract but I am holding out for you and your expertise.👍
@@TheMarinemom02 I'd love to help! Shoot me an email at info@jeremyblanton.com to get things started!
