Buying an Airbnb in the Outer Banks and Carolina Beach, NC

In this episode of the series, Luke Carl explores the Outer Banks market with Meg, a Short Term Shop agent who’s lived there since 2011, breaking down the barrier-island geography, investor-friendly townships from Corolla to Nags Head, and how festivals and off-season events stretch demand beyond summer. They cover access and “between-the-highways” location dynamics, hurricane/erosion realities and a live example: a semi-oceanfront 4BR listed around $850K—where adding a pool can materially lift gross to ~$120K.   Connect with Meg: meg@theshorttermshop.com Connect with us: The Short Term Shop - https://theshorttermshop.com/ www.strquestions.com Follow Avery Carl on Instagram Follow Avery Carl on TikTok Join the Short Term Shop Facebook group Check out the Short Term Shop on YouTube   For more information on how to get into short term rentals, read Avery’s books: Smarter Short Term Rentals - Buy it on Amazon Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth: Your Guide to Analyzing, Buying, and Managing Vacation Properties – Buy it on Amazon Chapters (00:00:00) - Short Term Shop plus here to talk about the Outer Banks(00:00:51) - The Tourism Agent for the Outer Banks(00:03:02) - Flipping Homes on the Outer Banks(00:05:56) - How do I get from Hatteras to Ocracoke(00:08:47) - How to Get to Corolla & Kitty Hawk Island for Horses(00:13:47) - Real Estate Tips for Buying a Property Near the Water(00:19:10) - What do you call this strip between the highways?(00:19:38) - Oblivious: Condos on the Outer Banks(00:21:34) - Hurricane Irma: The erosion on Ocracoke Island(00:26:40) - Hurricane Florence causes erosion along North Carolina coast(00:29:13) - Seamount Oceanfront Property for Sale in Kill Devil Hills(00:31:19) - Private Pool Offered for Sale(00:32:13) - St. Patrick's Day and Pool Rental(00:35:54) - This beach house has been updated for the summer(00:39:48) - $850k for a two-bedroom on the Outer Banks(00:43:09) - A Million-Dollar House on the Outer Banks
