If the North Carolina house is a rental property you will need to file a nonresident return.  It is considered North Carolina source income.

Then it is considered your "second home".  You do not have to file the tax return now, but if you ever do start renting it or sell it, you may have to report then.  The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) allows you to retain your California residency of course.
