Property Information and Growth Analysis in South Carolina?

Question

I am considering buying property in either Saluda County South Carolina or Ridgeway South Carolina. Neither location has huge populations, but since I am going to be buying between 30 and 50 acres, how can I determine which one stands a better chance of growth in population so the return on the investment is higher?

Answer 1

There is no guarantee on whether the growth is going to hit those areas. You also need to worry about the zoning. Most rural areas do not zone so you could by 50 acres and the next year you could be living next to a mobile home park which will severly depreciate your property.
