@Tom Wagner,

The rental market is stronger than it has been in quite a few years. I am a REALTOR/ Property Manager/ Property Investor in the area. There are only 251 active SFH rentals in all of Onslow County right now. Significantly lower that it has been in years. There are some really good neighborhoods that are close to base, but just outside of the city limits, so you don't have to worry about city taxes in these areas. Some of the neighborhoods outside the city limits do have community sewer systems, but many are on septic. I prefer the properties hooked up to community sewer as you can pass the monthly sewer bill onto the tenant. Septic repairs/replacements can be costly and have dealt with handling those issues for clients and it is not fun. I have assisted a few people purchasing their first investment property in the area over the last few years. i would be happy to talk to you in greater detail.
