Redemption basics

Redemption periods and sale dates are state-level basics — counties deviate. Confirm against the county's own sale notice for the current cycle.
Wholesaling in South Carolina is restricted — read this first
Effectively closed to unlicensed wholesalers: HB 4754 (2024) - marketing residential property before taking title = brokerage; REC bars marketing that identifies the property at all.
Education only — not legal advice. Confirm your approach with a local real estate attorney before you sign anything.
Local notes
Like NC: SC page should pivot to auction-buying education and carry the marketing ban up front.
