Issue #111

INVESTOR’S EDGE EXCLUSIVE

Ahhh.. the Outer Banks. Smell the sea salt. Today’s featured property is a 5-bedroom gem, tucked away on a private cul-de-sac with easy beach access. Boasting $97K in gross yield and a 21% cash-on-cash return.

With annual visitor spending surpassing $1.4 billion and strong demand for family-friendly rentals, owning a piece of OBX real estate is as much about smart financials as it is about sand between your toes.

In addition to today’s featured property, we have a rare find in Virginia with mountain views near local breweries, wineries, and distilleries, along with a hilltop home on 7-acres in California surrounded by avocado grove. These and more shared exclusively with Investor’s Edge readers.

Buying a short term rental doesn’t need to be complicated. But, with more than 14,000 listings hitting the market every single day, the likelihood of you finding the right home at the right time feels damn near impossible.

You need to find the right location.
With the right unit economics.
And, the right style.

It’s tough.

But, when you do… it’s a game life changer.

The last Airbnb I purchased provides a 16.99% Cash on Cash return with $15,700+ in annual free cash flow after my mortgage and all expenses…

I hope this is a resource that saves you time, so you can make decisions in minutes and avoid missing out on the property that will change your life.
