My first South Carolina closing caught me off guard with a $1,100 attorney fee I did not expect. In Ohio, I had closed eight deals through a title company \u2014 no attorney, $0 legal cost at closing. South Carolina requires a licensed attorney at every real estate closing, and that is just the first of several SC-specific costs that differ from other investor states. Total South Carolina closing costs<\/strong> for investment property<\/strong> buyers run 2.5-4.0% of purchase price \u2014 moderate nationally, but the line items look different from what out-of-state investors expect.<\/p>\n

This guide breaks down every South Carolina closing costs investment property<\/strong> fee with real dollar amounts, explains the SC-specific items (attorney requirement, deed stamps, 6% tax assessment), and shows you how costs differ between Charleston, Greenville, Columbia, and other markets. Estimate your total with the South Carolina closing costs calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n
