Should I rent in Folly Beach first or buy right away?

Renting in Folly Beach first makes sense for buyers still unsure which street or building style suits them, while buying right away suits someone who already knows the island and wants to stop paying rent toward someone else's mortgage. Folly Beach's flood insurance and higher price band raise the cost of guessing wrong on a purchase. Brian Beatty can help weigh that tradeoff against a specific buyer's timeline and budget.
