Keep, rent, sell or do nothing for now. Your call, no pressure.

Inherited a condo or townhome on the Grand Strand?

Your options.

Keep it

Use it as a family beach place or hold it for later.

You'll carry HOA dues, taxes and insurance. Agree in writing on who pays what.

Rent it

A vacation or long-term rental, where the HOA allows it.

Many Grand Strand condos rent well, but rules, fees and management costs vary by building.

Sell as-is

Sell furnished, with no updates.

Common for condos. Buyers often want it furnished and rental-ready.

Prepare and list

Light updates and staging, then a full listing.

Usually the highest price. Takes more time, and some up-front cost.

Family buyout

One family member buys out the others.

Keeps it in the family. A fair, documented value makes the conversation easier.

First steps

Whatever you decide.

Contact the HOA

Let them know about the change in ownership and ask about dues, assessments and rules.

Keep paying the HOA dues

Unpaid dues can turn into a lien on the unit.

Check the insurance

The HOA insures the building; the unit owner insures the inside. Make sure that policy stays active.

Check any rental bookings

If it's rented, find out what's booked and who manages it.

Watch the tax bill

County tax bills come due each January. Make sure someone receives it.

Common questions

Straight answers.

What is a special assessment?

A one-time charge from the HOA for big repairs like a roof, balconies or a seawall. Ask the HOA if any are planned, because buyers will ask too.

Can we keep renting it while we decide?

Usually, yes, if the HOA and the town allow it. Existing bookings and the management company can often stay in place.

Do we have to sell it furnished?

No, but many Grand Strand condos sell furnished, and buyers who want a rental often prefer it.

Will the property taxes go up?

They can. If no heir lives there as their legal residence, South Carolina taxes it at a higher rate. Ask the county assessor before the next January bill.
