Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
A metric for assessing profitability over time. IRR is the discount rate at which the net present value (NPV) of all future cash flows (positive and negative) from an investment equals zero — including both periodic cash flow (such as rent) and a projected sale at the end of the holding period. It represents the expected annualized return, accounting for income, expenses, and the recovery of capital through a future sale.
Property Description
This is the perfect home to purchase as a primary residence or to use as short term rental for guests to enjoy the beauty of Sunset Beach from the mainland side with easy access to ICW. Imagine a charming coastal home situated at the base of the bridge to Sunset Beach, North Carolina, with direct access nearby to the Intracoastal Waterway and so close to beach because THIS is that dream. This prime location offers the best of both worlds - convenient ICW access and a short trip on bike or car drive to the beach over the bridge and also a sneak peek at waterway view from the backyard. Inside the home you are greeted with a casual beach charm as you walk in the door. The heart of the home is a roaring wood-burning fireplace at the dining area that becomes the gathering spot during cooler months with rearranging the furniture and putting chairs in front of the brick fireplace to get that winter feel while also at the beach. The kitchen opens to both the dining and living areas, making it ideal for entertaining. Any day during all seasons you can walk out the door and hear the sound of waves crashing ashore at the beach. It is hard to find a place that you can have close access to the ICW with a boat ramp and the beach just over the bridge. Don't let this dream area pass you by!
