Tips for South Carolina Home Buyers

Compare rates from multiple South Carolina lenders — even a 0.25% rate difference can save tens of thousands over the life of your loan
Check your credit score before applying — a higher score means better rates

Factor in PMI — if your down payment is less than 20%, you’ll pay Private Mortgage Insurance until you reach 80% loan-to-value
