Our next stop is Surfside Beach

Known as "The Family Beach" and located just south of Myrtle Beach.





Surfside Beach is the perfect year round or vacation spot.  The Pristine Beaches are cleaned daily and supervised by lifeguards and police.   There are several beach access points offering showers, restrooms and foot showers.

Stop by the Surfside Pier - originally built in 1953. It has been rebuilt at least three times with the current length at 830 feet.

There are many great restaurants in the area - River city Cafe sits next to the Pier for Oceanfront dining and my favorite spot anytime of the year!!!!


Enjoy the many local attractions, miniature golf, Water park, 

oceanfront camping and you are just minutes to the Coastal Grand Mall, The Market Commons and all the attractions in Myrtle Beach, but away from the traffic!!!

So the next time you are down, be sure to check out the Surfside Beach area.

10 Ways to Prepare for Homeownership

1. Decide what you can afford. Generally, you can afford a home equal in value to between two and three times your gross income.  2. Develop your home wish list. Then, prioritize the features on your list.  3. Select where you want to live. Compile a list of three or four neighborhoods you’d like to live in, taking into account items such as schools, recreational facilities, area expansion plans, and safety.  4. Start saving. Do you have enough money saved to qualify for a mortgage and cover your down payment? Ideally, you should have 20 percent of the purchase price saved as a down payment. Also, don’t forget to factor in closing costs. Closing costs — including taxes, attorney’s fee, and transfer fees — average between 2 and 7 percent of the home price.  5. Get your credit in order. Obtain a copy of your credit report to make sure it is accurate and to correct any errors immediately. A credit report provides a history of your credit, bad debts, and any late payments.  6. D

Understanding Capital Gains in Real Estate

Understanding Capital Gains in Real Estate When you sell a stock, you owe taxes on your gain — the difference between what you paid for the stock and what you sold it for. The same holds true when selling a home (or a second home), but there are some special considerations. How to Calculate Gain In real estate, capital gains are based not on what you paid for the home, but on its adjusted cost basis. To calculate, follow these steps: 1. Purchase price: _______________________ The purchase price of the home is the sale price, not the amount of money you actually contributed at closing. 2. Total adjustments: _ ______________________ To calculate this, add the following: Cost of the purchase — including transfer fees, attorney fees, and inspections, but not points you paid on your mortgage. Cost of sale — including inspections, attorney fees, real estate commission, and money you spent to fix up your home just prior to sale. Cost of improvement
