Touring a $2.9M Hatteras Beach House + Bonus Depreciation Strategy &Full Walkthrough of Our Own Home

Join me as I drive down to Hatteras to check out a brand-new beach house opportunity—just a few doors down from our current property. We walk through storm updates, bonus depreciation strategy, and whether this deal could help offset taxes for the year.

Then, after touring the first home, we head over to our Hatteras house for a full walkthrough so you can compare layouts, amenities, rental potential, and how both homes stack up for short-term rental income.

If you’re interested in coastal real estate, STR investing, bonus depreciation, or seeing what a $2.9M Outer Banks home looks like inside—this is the video for you.
