Are you looking at owning and managing rental properties on Hilton Head with a long-term view? You will rarely increase the value of your rental property investment over the short term. Increased wealth comes from growth in equity that typically occurs over time. Ensuring long-term appreciation should be your first consideration when deciding which property to buy. Location, location, location may be an overused term, but it still holds true. You can change virtually everything about the property except its location. Be wary of buying a property in a high vacancy location or in areas that are declining economically or aesthetically. Although you can improve many aspects of the property, you may want to stay away from houses that require comprehensive repairs. You can get these “fixer-uppers” for a discounted price, but the money you save often won’t cover the cash required to make the property presentable. Read the rest of this entry

“Why do I need a CL100 when I buy or sell a home or villa on Hilton Head?” I’m not sure where the name comes from, but a smarter title, which appears on the report itself, “OFFICIAL SOUTH CAROLINA WOOD INFESTATION REPORT”, makes alot more sense. During a sale of structural property in South Carolina involving a lending institution, the CL-100 will usually be a mandatory report at closing. In most conventional cases, the seller is responsible for the CL-100. A thorough, professional inspection is part of every CL100. The report will point out any water-damage issues, however small they may be. It’s important to know that the CL-100 will only report water and fungal damage that is “below the first main floor”.

Safe Surf on Hilton Head
Hilton Head’s Beaches offer two body guards that are sandbars on each end of the Island. Joiner Banks on the north and Gaskin Banks on the south catch the really bad stuff before it hits the shores. These two sandbars come together about a mile offshore and help make our waters both swimmer and child friendly. No matter the age from toddler to elderly, sitting in the Hilton Head surf brings smiles.
A1A on Hilton Head
Hilton Head’s beach offers 11 miles of walk and bike-ability. The sugar sand of Hilton Head is just hard enough to be excellent for walking, biking or jogging. In fact, Hilton Head beachgoers do not have to travel by car to get to a different beach, they can barefoot it from one beach to the next. Of course, plan carefully to walk through the Folly at low tide otherwise you may have to swim!
Hilton Head’s Beach is Tops
Google Top Beach and you are sure to see Hilton Head’s Beaches pop up in these searches time and time again. A quick search and we found Hilton Head has been named #1 Beach in 2010 by Fox News, #2 beach by 10Best.com and #6 by US News Travel. When it comes to swimming, walking, biking, sand, and room to spare, it is hard to find a more perfect beach in the World.

Here is a possible money saving idea for second home owners on Hilton Head. As an owner of investment rental property, check out a cost segregation study for your home or villa. You may find tax savings by recognizing assets that are typically buried into a building’s construction or acquisition cost. There is really no minimum value a property and given the finishes in many of the homes and villas on Hilton Head, this study may be worth looking into. Visit their website or contact John Miller at (706)672-2760 or email John for more information.
