This home sits in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, so flood insurance is required with a mortgage (a fact, from the FEMA zone). The $65$300/mo above is a rough planning range, not a quote — premiums are now priced per-property. Get an exact flood quote.

This is an estimate for planning only — not a loan quote or commitment to lend. Assumes a $2,100,000 price, 20% down, 6.49% rate over 30 years, and SC owner-occupied 4% + school exemption property tax. It excludes PMI/MIP, the VA funding fee, and closing costs. For reference, the current tax on record (MLS) is about $13,468/yr — that reflects the present owner's assessment, which may differ from yours. Confirm every figure with a licensed lender.
