We can run an estimate for you and really every building should be evaluated if the basis is over $150,000. I can work all over the country and not just here in the Upstate. We relocated to Greenville, SC for the lifestyle, lower cost of living, amazing amenities in the area and the growth opportunity for business and real estate. We absolutely love it here!
