We’ve all heard the phrase “It’s never too early to begin planning for your retirement.” While the typical person would begin compiling a list of trusted financial advisors referred by friends and family, the truly savvy future retiree would also call a real estate agent. 

Purchasing a second home is an investment in your future and provides several options for retirement. The Outer Banks is one of the most lucrative vacation rental areas on the East Coast. Every year over 5 million visitors come to the Outer Banks, providing a huge market for vacation rental properties. Purchasing a vacation rental home on the Outer Banks can provide supplementary income, which can be put away for retirement or back to the bank note on the home. This retirement strategy works best when income property is purchased sooner rather than later ensuring the home will be paid off or pretty darn close to at the time of your retirement. This would allow you to a) have a mortgage-free home to retire to in the Outer Banks or b) have source of income during your retirement should you continue to make it available to vacationers.
