OBX Short-Term Rentals

[Patrick Sullivan]

I'm new to short-term rentals. I'm looking to purchase a 4/3 on Hatteras Island, NC. Seems to me they rent from about 100$ a night in the winter and peak at about 385$ in the summer. Does that seem about right? I just went to booking web sites and picked a week or two each month. Is there a better way to find that information? I'm tring to find the vancancy rate as well. How does one normally figure that out if they are new to an area?
