New to the board and could not find answers to my questions so I hope somebody can help.

We are thinking of taking advantage of soft market and buying a condo in Myrtle Beach this fall. Here are some of our questions:
1/ Are the property taxes higher for Canadians? What are they?
2/ Any other issues a foreigner has to consider?
3/ Any areas of Myrtle Beach we should avoid?

As we are new to the idea of owning a property outside of Canada, any hints will be appreciated.

Thanks
Jack and Margaret

We purchased last November. Taxes are reasonable and costs are below what you pay in Canada albeit higher than a resident. . Only true concern is tax withholding when you sell.

This book may be a worthwhile investment for Canadians. I've heard too many stories about lack of financial planning and getting hit by CRA....
