    Specializing in Tax Benefit and Reverse Cash Flowing Rental Properties (and educating you on what they are). As investors we need to know how to find value when the market is going up, down or sideways. The primary focus of most investors are Cash Flow and Appreciation. While that's the best focus to have when starting out, what happens when prices get too high and the property doesn't cash flow? It's no longer a viable investment... right? Did you know that the more Cash Flow you have, the lower your Depreciation Benefit will be? That means that if you keep your Cash Flow low, without it being an actual loss, the less taxes you'll pay. And don't forget that your loan is getting paid down over time, which is Tax Free Money when you refinance! All of a sudden, higher priced markets have opportunities that most other investors don't see. They want the immediate mailbox money and that sexy Appreciation. But with patience and time (which are critical in our industry) they're able to see higher returns and pay less taxes. Confused yet? That's what I'm here for. I specialize in the Greenville, NC market and the surrounding cities. I understand how to analyze different investment strategies that can be executed in any market condition, and can help you balance your Rental Portfolio. So reach out and let's get started! Looking forward to working with you!

Questions investors in New Bern ask

Local answers only. The general ones (what investor-friendly means, what it costs, how vetting works) are on the main finder page.

What do New Bern agents specialize in?

The 2 agents listed here specialize in fix & flip, land, long-term rental, mid-term rental, mobile home parks, multi-family (2-4 units), multi-family (5+ units), new construction, office/retail, primary residence, short-term rental, single-family rental, and townhouse/condo.

Do these agents cover Atlantic Beach, Ayden, and Beaufort too?

Yes. Between them, the agents listed here also serve Atlantic Beach, Ayden, Beaufort, Cary, Clayton, Emerald Isle, Garner, Goldsboro, Greenville, Grifton, Grimesland, Havelock, Jacksonville, Morehead City, Newport, Raleigh, Simpson, Washington, and Winterville. If your search is really greater New Bern rather than the city itself, start with the agent whose reviews mention the town you are buying in.

How should I choose between them?

Read the investor reviews first, then the agent's own forum posts, which show how they think about a deal before you have spent an hour on the phone. Ask each for the last three investment deals they closed in Craven County and how those deals performed. An agent who works with investors will have the numbers ready.

What is an investor-friendly real estate agent?

An investor-friendly real estate agent represents buyers who purchase property to rent, renovate, or resell rather than to live in. They can price a property against rent comps and renovation costs, not just against nearby sales, and they are used to offers written for speed and inspection terms an owner-occupant would not accept. Many are investors themselves.
