Brad, I am a licensed NC real estate agent and broker based in Kill Devil Hills. I can help you identify available properties, taking flood zones into account. Within your search/selections, I can provide rental history and projections and often P&L to include annual expenses (flood, wind, and hail insurance). My husband and I are investors here on the Northern Outer Banks (Kitty Hawk to Manteo) and happy to share experiences and information. Message me if you would like to connect and if I can be of service. Best, Meg

@Andrew Daniels and @Heather Carrow - I am a full-time resident (since 2011) and licensed North Carolina REALTOR® and Broker on the Outer Banks. Let me know if you can use my services. My husband and I own 3 LTR, 1 STR, and are finishing up a rehab project we plan to put on the market by the end of the month.

@Stephen Glover Glad you found your way. And congratulation on your deal! Until next time...

Heather, no, we flip (clean, maintain) our own STR. The condo is in Manteo; our LTRs are in Kitty Hawk (2), Colington (2), and one in Richmond, VA. Our company's long-term goal was to help out our locals who are losing their housing due to the Airbnb and VRBO boom. We were more community and long-term investing-focused than fast cash-focused. The condo is our first and only STR. We are now renovating a home that one of our current tenants plans to move into - I listed and sold the house she is living in now in less than 2 days, over-asking price. I am not suggesting that our program is the right one but it works for us for now. Good luck!

Heather, hi there! I am a North Carolina REALTOR® and REI on the Outer Banks. We have a handful of LTRs and one STR. One of your challenges managing your Outer Banks property from a distance is finding a dependable cleaner. We are currently flipping our condo ourselves weekly despite being resourceful and widely connected to our community and our locals. While I agree with Luke, get your systems in place and you can lean heavily on technology, you will still want someone nearby to check-in on your place, make sure it didn't get trashed between guests, replace inventory (dishes, glassware, tp, etc), make sure there are no leaks, running toilets, broken down AC... Getting set up could be tricky but if you can find someone you trust to partner with you, your STR could be a huge win. Good luck!
