Lake Norman, Mooresville, NC - In contract for our first STR!!!

[Jason Harty]

Hey all!

It is with super excitement that I share that my wife and I are in contract for our first investment home that we intend to rent out on a short-term rental basis. The property is located on the beautiful Lake Norman in Mooresville, NC. The property is located just 30 minutes north of Charlotte and just a few minutes off of I-77. The property is a SFH outside of any HOA and we are purchasing from the original owners of 30 years. The property can use a little TLC, but not much at all. I am a contractor by trade and will be doing any renovations myself quickly to get the property listed for use ASAP.

I would love to speak with people in the Lake Norman area that are currently renting on a short term basis and learn from what you are doing.  Thanks to all who comment or reach out!

Looks like a cool place @Jason Harty! Post more pics, especially of the view of the lake. We have a lake house as well. Love to see others work.

The Lake is quite low at the moment.

That house has some presence.  Can’t wait to see what you do with it.

Hey @Jason Harty. Looks good! Why is the lake down?

Ours drops about 7 feet in the winter due to changes to the outflow for the winter.

What I am told is, Duke Power lowers the lake levels in the off season. As well as dependent on rainfall totals in the area. When visiting over the summer, the lake was up over 3' from where it is now.

Yeah, they do the same thing here in Idaho on Lake Coeur d'Alene. Cool beans

 It makes sense from a utilities stand point. Looking forward!

 Thanks! We love Lake Norman, we have friends and family all within 30-60 mins. We frequent the lake when visiting. 

Here are some basics - 

Contract price: $740k
Reno budget: $60k - $70k 
ARV: $940k+
AirDNA & Research: $143k in yearly bookings
Expected profits: $25k - $35k  

I am doing the work myself being I am a contractor in NY. We’ll get A LOT done for the reno budget. I plan to have the property open for bookings within 45-60 days of closing.

 Thank you so much! If you know of any meet-ups in the area, I would love to attend while down there.

Also, we are interviewing vendors for the properties, if you have anyone you love to work with, I would be happy to build a relationship with them. We are looking for cleaners, handymen, landscapers. 

Thanks!!
