Daisy’s Dune is uniquely positioned to capitalize on that demand, with a combination of features that are increasingly difficult to replicate. Here are the top 7 reasons why this investment should be at the top of your list: 1. Management Choices: There are multiple options for full service, professional rental management and maintenance. 2. Favorable Financing: Residential classification offers a range of long-term fixed rate financing options at attractive rates unavailable in the commercial sphere. 3. Lower Expenses: Brand-new construction, quality materials, durable low-maintenance finishes, and the scale of the home are designed minimize future expenses 4. Higher Income: There is very well-established demand on the Outer Banks for homes of this scale. In-season rental rates show robust historical growth due to limited supply due to scarcity of competition. Shoulder season occupancy rates show continued strong growth due to strategic community planning and marketing, shoulder season events, exceptional weather, and favorable demographic and employment trends. 5. Limited Competition: The number of homes of this size is restricted going forward due to recent zoning changes, sewer capacity, the limited number of large parcels and the inherent scarcity of oceanfront property. 6.
