TRG O’Neal Village Update
Watch US grow!
Development of O’Neal Village continues with the clearing of Phase 5. The development of Phase 5 includes 234 lots developed
in two (2) sections including 40 Townhomes and 31 homes centered on a unique conservation park. The park will serve a water
quality and detention purpose and will add another quality open space feature to the neighborhood. The initial lots will be
available to the existing builders of O’Neal Village by late 2021.
An updated neighborhood site plan has been completed and highlights all of the phases, existing and planned, for O’Neal
Village. This site plan and updated website is designed to highlight the community for potential new residents and tenants.
Market acceptance of the community has been evident in recent years by lot and home sales which have been in the top 5% of
the Greenville/Spartanburg market.
Additional commercial tenants are expected to be announced for the remaining vacant spaces in the retail village. A new
commercial building facing the village square is being designed featuring two additional retail/office spaces and two
one-bedroom apartments.

captains.
Two security lights have been installed, one at the basketball court and one in the lower parking lot. These lights
provide better visibility in blind spots by the pool where suspicious activity has taken place in the past. No trespass-
ing signs have been added as well as a safety chain and poles in the lower parking lot. The chains are locked at 9PM
every night and unlocked every morning.
If you plan to play basketball past 9PM, please park your car on the road outside of the chain or you will be asked to
move your vehicle. Security camera upgrades for the pool and the surrounding areas are in the works.
We are also looking into installing cameras at each of the entrances so vehicles entering and exiting the neighborhood
can be monitored and recorded. Semper Fi.
Market Expert Corner

If you own a home and haven’t had a mortgage check up in the last 12 months, we should do that ASAP…Home equity is at
an all-time high…it has increased a whopping $1.9 TRILLION in only Q1 of 2021 alone. That brings the estimated total of
home equity to around $23 Trillion with the average homeowner gaining $34,000 of equity as it was in 2020.
Interestingly, the amount of short-term consumer debt is also the highest it’s ever been. If you own a home and haven’t had a
mortgage check up in the last 12 months, we should do that as soon as possible. The opportunities are endless (literally), but I
have listed a few below.
Remember that mortgage rates are still near all-time lows. There are no costs or obligations to have a simple conversation that
will lead you to success. With only spending 15 to 20 minutes of your time, it can most likely improve your financial wellbe-
ing drastically, but rest assured, we will never recommend anything that doesn’t.
• Consolidate into one payment and free up monthly cash flow
• Fund major/minor home improvements
• Pay for college for yourself or children
• Have a down payment to start your rental portfolio
• Leverage the equity at low rates to buy long-term appreciating assets
• Buy a vacation home
• Eliminate PMI
Let’s see what your options look like.
Email a copy of your most recent statement to ebentley@smprate.com and we will get right to work. Call or text us with any
questions at 864-449-5845 or apply online at: https://www.successmortgagepartners.com/eugenia-bentley
