Should I sell my Mount Pleasant home before or after I buy out of state?

Selling a Mount Pleasant home before buying out of state avoids carrying two mortgages and gives a firm, cash-in-hand budget for the next purchase, though it can mean temporary housing if the timing does not line up across two markets. Buying first avoids that temporary move but adds financing risk if the Mount Pleasant home takes longer to sell than expected. Brian Beatty sequences both sides of an out-of-state move to minimize that overlap.
