BobS: You are correct. I moved to the Up-Country part of South Carolina (Greenville-Spartanburg area) three years ago after living in San Diego for 30 years. Houses are inexpensive, land is plentiful and business is booming in all sectors. In fact, it’s growing faster than I would like but it’s better to have prosperity than famine. We moved here when we were convinced that housing in SoCal was going to crash and with the intent of staying here until at least 2012, when we believe that prices would bottom out. We will take a hard look at SD prices in 2012 and decide if we want to move back.
Anyone who is looking for opportunities as an investor with rental homes or thinking of starting a business, the area between Charlotte, NC and Atlanta GA (we’re right in-between both cities off of I-85) is booming and is very pro-business.
