Seeking Property Manager for Canal Front House in Carolina Beach, NC with Dock

[Philip Njapa]

Hi Bigger Pockets,

My family is looking for a property manager to manage our canal front house with two private boatslips on the dock in Carolina Beach, NC. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house that we bought pre-pandemic in 2019. Without accounting for generous renovations, the property value has more than doubled since then, but the house has never cash flowed.

We feel that the existing property management has neglected the place and has not optimized or marketed the property for maximum cash flow. Right now, the property is marketed only as a short-term rental, but we want to maximize returns, which means we are open to off-season medium-term rental and then short-term rental for the on-season.

Additionally, the existing property management has advertised that no boats or water vehicles are allowed to be docked at the property. We want the future property manager to allow water vehicles at an additional cost to the tenant or potentially rent the dock to non-homeowner-occupied tenants.

We are looking for a property manager who has experience with canal front properties, short-term rentals, and long-term rentals in Carolina Beach or the surrounding area, such as Wilmington, NC. We also want a property manager who is proactive and will work with us to maximize our rental income.

If you are interested in managing our property or have anyone who you'd like to refer, please send us a message with your qualifications and experience. We look forward to hearing from you!
