Purchasing a vacation rental in OBX - need good attorney?

[Mike Shemp]

Hi All,

Well about a year ago I posted on this forum about purchasing a vacation home in the Outerbanks, North Carolina to rent out in the summer months.  We are now looking at homes, and will make an offer when we find the right one.

Can anyone recommend a good real estate attorney in OBX?  We will most likely purchase a vacation home that has a good rental history, so it will probably be booked for the 2017 season.  We would need an attorney to handle all the ins-and-outs of purchasing an existing vacation home that was, and is, rented out at the time of purchase.

Also, if anyone has any tips or suggestions to watch out for when purchasing an existing vacation home that is rented out, this newbie would really appreciate hearing them!

Thank you in advance.
