Is Sullivan's Island a good place to buy investment property?

Buying investment property on Sullivan's Island works best for buyers focused on long-term appreciation and limited beachfront supply rather than quick rental income, since the island's strict zoning and architectural review limit short-term rental flexibility compared with a town like Folly Beach. High purchase prices there also mean rental income rarely covers the mortgage the way a lower-cost property elsewhere might. Brian Beatty runs that comparison against comparable Sullivan's Island sales before an investor commits.
