Real Estate Tips:
Diversify your portfolio as much as possible. You do not want to have all of your investment funds in only one type of investment. Spread them out over stocks, real estate, and other investments in order to protect yourself should something bad happen in one area of the investment market. Keep in mind that there are investment opportunities past just traditional stocks and bonds. Commodities are an asset class with both risks and rewards but can provide hedges against inflation. Also look at real estate income trusts to invest into the real estate market without being tied to individual pieces of property.

The city’s extensive history began decades ago. It was founded in 1786, but ⅔ of the city burned down after General William T. Sherman entered in 1865. A few historic buildings managed to survive, such as the Hampton-Preston Mansion, Robert Mills House and Gardens, and South Carolina State House. They’re all worth visiting as a way to experience life during the Antebellum period.
Several museums celebrate South Carolina’s history and cultures such as the Columbia Museum of Art and the South Carolina State Museum. Many are interactive and entertaining enough for children, such as the famous EdVenture.
South Carolina’s Lake Murray Dam is a well-known attraction, but Columbia also has plenty of other beautiful natural spaces. They include Saluda Shoals, Congaree National Park, the Sesquecential State Park, and the Harbison State Forest, to name a few.
Sports-lovers will have a wonderful time in the city. The Williams-Bryce Stadium hosts a rowdy crowd, and the multi-purpose Segra Park is worth visiting as well. You’re certain to find a game or event that you’ll enjoy in one of them.
Unique shops such as the Mast General Store offer all the supplies you could ever need for your trip, especially if you plan to camp out in one of the city’s parks. The farmers’ markets on the weekends offer a large selection of local produce. You can also enjoy delicious local food at restaurants such as Villa Tronco and Oyster Bar Columbia.
