Why North Charleston SC Should Be on Your Radar!
North Charleston is one of the most affordable cities in the Charleston Metro. While it does have its downsides, there are many pros to living here. It's one of the best places to look for first-time homebuyers and has updated townhomes at prices that are nearly half of those in other cities around Charleston. 🏡
North Charleston has grown significantly in the last five years, and with revitalization efforts improving major hubs in the city, I think it's only going to continue to grow. If you are in the military, this is a great place to look for homes because it's close to Joint Base Charleston and only a 20-minute drive from the Naval Weapons Station in Goose Creek. 🪖

Wow thanks for the video, my wife and I are considering moving to the Charleston area from Asheville NC and we were looking at Goose Creek. This video really helps and makes us really want to move here lol. Do you have any insight on the renting market in this area? Thanks again!
Hey! It's such a great area to be. You might find that renting is comparable to buying here. Shoot me an email (spcleary@kw.com) and we can go over your specific situation.
Pro tip: get a microphone near the speaker. The audio sucks. While I agree with the assessment, I wonder why you are so gung-ho against solar. Are the power companies financing this video?
I want to work with your channel as a video editor. Will grow your channel 10x faster.
U have Instagram bro?
w video, do u have a Instagram?
I do it's instagram.com/livingincharlestonsuburbs/!
I wish everybody could watch this video before they got into this solar scam. They must look at their bills and see if they really 'benefit' from it. I took over a lease from previous owner and every month I'm negative $150, although I generate 700KWH and only use 300KWH
Hi Shawn, Commendable effort in taking the time to create this informative video. We run a community of Real Estate Agent Influencers who get together once a week to brainstorm video for Real Estate. Assuming this may be relevant, would you like me to send you an invite?
So in-depth. Thank you
I'm just looking for a basic one story townhouse to rent month to month in west ashley. Any ideas?
“Not all HOA’s are bad” yea and not all prisons are lowkey forced labor camps. And Not all men-… I’m sure you understand where I’m going it doesn’t matter how good yours might be there’s still power hungry a-holes who only start those up for the purpose of controlling others. The whole idea of it is just sad and deranged, when you own anything else no one is comming around to tell you how to own it why is it different for homes?
Great info thank you
No problem! Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you want to chat in person. Contact info is in the description :)
Solar is definetly worth it in sunny states.
Thoughts on The Oaks in Goose Creek?
The Oaks is such an interesting neighborhood. Beazer decided to build a "luxury" product in a non-luxury area. The surrounding neighborhoods will hinder price appreciation. In fact, Beazer has slashed their prices substantially since they started constructing the neighborhood, probably because consumers were not intererested in paying such a high premium for a home in the area. Goose Creek has plentiful newer-construction neighborhoods but I don't think you should be paying a half million in Goose Creek. There's better neighborhoods out there where you get more bang for your buck. Definitely reach out to me if you want to chat more about it - my contact information is in the description.

Livin in the country RULES!!
That's fine if you plan on selling. But if you don't plan on selling your home then why would you want property values to go up? So you can pay more in property taxes AND have people tell you what you can and cant do on YOUR property?
Exactly
Need to come to Charleston
Its nice here😃
Wait this is dumb…if you’re paying 75 dollars a month less after you install it who cares about the break even point. You are paying less monthly! I wasn’t looking to add value or break even as long as I pay less monthly and it last till the house needs a new roof then my bills are less😊
sunrun installed a defective roof on my home and couldn't find an in house contractor to fix it during DRIVING RAINS. I was told by sunrun that I should hire my own contractor and they will reimburse me. I was forced to do that under duress because of the immediacy of the untended to emergency of the lead. But when further damage became revealed and more leaks occured, they refused to repair the newly discovered damage all over the entirety of the roof. Many construction errors. Now I Have to pay for my own repairs to the tune of over $7000
Is goose creek in the south part or north?
It's North of the majority of the "Charleston" area.

I love how all the comments from people who have solar are saying you're wrong lol If youre jealous and mad at the people in the industry making 10xs the month youre making- just say that lol 😅😅
As with everything, it depends. I've had customers who love it and have saved a ton of money because they did their research and read their contracts. Ive had customers that didnt do their research or read their contracts and they come to find out it wasnt a good idea in their situation.
Man, is this wrong!
It’s horrible Traffic and expensive now. Charleston has awful schools too
This guy is obviously anti-solar because he is biased because hes personally lost real estate deals because certain buyers didnt want to buy someone elses solar system. Solar makes sense for 90% of homeowners in any state with high utility rates and gets a lot of sunshine
My realtor friend didn’t know about VA assumptions. He gave me the number for a lender friend. Good to know the lender doesn’t benefit before I talk to them.
Is this an option to purchase as an investment property, or only for primary residence?
It can be an investment purchase. However, it would be the same as if the buyer was non-VA eligible. They lose a portion of their entitlement. Sometimes, if the seller is in financial extremis, this could be a good option, but by-and-large it's not a good idea for an everyday seller.
What if the seller refinanced and owes as much as the house is worth? This is my situation. How does the inbetween down payment work.. I am the buyer. Thank you
When did the seller refinance? Depending on the interest rate, it might not even be worth doing the assumption at all. I wouldn't imagine there would be any difference except that you have to bring less cash to the closing table.
@@livingincharlestonsuburbs I believe she refinanced 2019ish. She just got a divorce and the house is now hers... she says house is worth 240k but she now owes that much and just wants to wash her hands of the house and get free of it.. they bought house in 2014.
Wouldn't i accomplish the exact same thing by putting 20% down and paying that extra $300/month in additional principle payments? This was there is no initial pmi to deal with and if life hiccups and i need that $300, i can use it for emergency rather than paying it as a requirement to my mortgage.
Wow. Thank you!
Its been a year or so since, but i hope you've gotten yourself a decent mic by now✌️
Great overview Shawn! I'm a real estate agent as well and get a lot of questions about Mt. Pleasant.
A FEW more points… 1. Solar panels lose 2-3% efficiency every year. 2. They are running at 50% efficiency at 15 years or less. 3. You aren’t actually energy independent. The power still runs to the power company. Your power goes out or gets shut off, then it’s off. Even if you have panels. A battery can give you alittle power during an outage, but has nothing to do with the panels. And in most cases you can’t sent power from the panels directly to the battery. The power still comes from the power company to charge the battery. 4. The power companies are the ones profiting. Instead of them having to lease land and buy solar farms and windmills. They have just dumped the cost on the individual, and the power company is making 10 cents (per dollar of power.) and they have no cost to them. You have traded a power bill for an equally or more expensive solar panel bill with maintenance and sometimes interest, which loses ability over time.
People who spend thousands on solar expecting to save money do not have strong financial intelligence. It’s a scam and lots of Americans are going to lose a lot of money on this.
bullshit
I went to Boulder bluff, Sedgefield, and Goose Creek and I gotta say.... That graph is very accurate...😅
Except goose creek high is better than Stratford. Far less drugs!
My solar is paying for itself! With a electric car and ac. Its a no brainier.
something else to consider is if you have trees around your home. just because your roof faces south might not be a good enough reason if you have trees that block the sun in certain seasons. adequate placement is important, and not all solar companies care enough to do the research about which area of your roof gets the most sun
I have been studying PV panel systems for three years. This is the BEST PV system video I have seen!
Thanks for inserting some financial sanity into this discussion! For unknown reasons, we have been conditioned to think that a 20 year payback was acceptable....based on the (unreliable guarantees) of 25 year panel warranties. But the killer point you make is the basic fact that people own a house for 8 years, ensuring that in most cases, the break-even payback is never going to happen. The only economic win you can generally get with solar panels is to buy them on a house with paid-off solar (a distress-sale, as far as the solar part is concerned). Even then, you never know what you might have to do for maintenance the roof going forward, and if you need to get under the panels, get ready for an expensive deinstall/ reinstall. But it's not just about panels. It's common to have powerwall battery systems (each at least $7K), especially, for charging your EV overnight. If you have 2 of them, thats $14K plus controllers and wiring installation costs. Very doubtful that these batteries will last as long as the panels are supposed to, so factor in a mid-cycle repurchase/ update, into your system payback. Finally, solar systems are too complex for the average non-DIY homeowner (not talking about DIY enthusiasts such as TH-cam readers!). It requires technical knowledge and motivation on behalf of the owner to keep track of possible panel, controller or battery degradation issues. You can't see these problems visually. Consequently, many consumers will ignore maintenance problems arising that can dramatically affect their payback expectation.
to just make a blanket statement about a subject with so many variables is irresponsible and baseless.
Great comment! I urge you to actually watch the full 12 minute video where I explain the variables :)
@@livingincharlestonsuburbs then "solar is a scam" should not be the title.
The biggest downside for most people is that the power is produced when you are not home to be able to use it. The power grids have the same issue where other methods run 24/7
Incorrect. Net metering accrues the generated electricity not consumed in your utility account as credit
Incorrect. Net metering takes effect
i agree with statying there and the cost of having someone install it all is a rip off (23k in equip, they want $96k and my tax credit!!) - BUT my elec last year was 250/year, this year it's 370!! And there is an energy credit for every KW installed. still evaluating solar. I"m a heavy user of electricity-shop, 4 furnaces (well, heat pumps), an EV...would love to reduce the cost or never see it go up at least!
