Beth's Picks

This house got my attention for a couple of reasons.  The first being that ever-so-important first rule of real estate: Location.  I usually go to the beach a few accesses to the south of this house so I know the beach is wide and gorgeous.  Second reason is the fantastic rental income.  This five bedroom home raked in over $95,000 in rental income last year.  That’s a lot of dough!  Of course, it has a heated pool, rec room and pool table and everything else that’s become a standard amenity for today’s savvy vacationer.  Last of all, the price - $1,250,000.   This home is priced right for our current market. Spike Milligan is quoted as saying, “All I ask is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy”.  And I’m saying, “If I could get a loan, I’d buy it”.   Nags Head, Oceanfront, 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths - $1,250,000 - make no regrets in life.

That’s right, this Avalon Beach home has four bedrooms and two baths and is offered for $179,000.  What an affordable way to get your foot in the Outer Banks real estate door!  If you’re interested, you better hurry - this home has generated 641 client hit counts in the 47 days it’s been on the market.  The price was reduced less than two weeks ago and that triggered the surge in attention so don’t wait too long.  With 20% down, you’d be looking at a principal, interest, taxes and insurance monthly payment of well under a grand.  Check it out.  Kill Devil Hills, Westside, Avalon, 4 bedrooms $179,000.

Clinton Jones said, “I have never been in a situation where having money made it worse”.  And I’m saying, although the lower priced homes are winning popularity contests in this current market, there’s got to be a few folks out there willing to part with a hunk of cash to secure some of the best investment opportunities in years.  So, here’s an oceanfront house with 9 bedrooms, 8.5 baths, pool, elevator and two of everything else - dishwashers, refrigerators, sinks, ovens, you name it, this house has it including some mega-sweet rental income.  2009 rental income was $237,150 - That’s a lot of assistance in off-setting that monthly mortgage payment!  Speaking of which, my first full-time salaried position paid less annually than one monthly payment would be on this home providing the buyer put 30% down.  Regardless, this is a well-performing oceanfront home that any smart investor can crunch the numbers and see the value.  Pine Island, Oceanfront, 9 bedrooms, $2,649,000.
