Charlotte Small Multi-Family Investing

[Aaron Dixon]

Hello All,

I’ve been living in Charlotte the last 3 months with my girlfriend while she works a nursing contract . We’ve really grown to love it here. So much that I’m now looking to  invest in the area. I realize prices are noticeably higher than they were a few years ago, however, there’s no projection of this slowing down. 

In an ideal world I'd love to house hack a small multi-family within a reasonable distance to either of the hospital systems to eventually use as an MTR. The issue I'm coming across is that many of the properties I'm finding on the MLS are NW near 85 which I understand are "opportunity zones". Unsure if those areas would do well.

Would love to get some thoughts and ideas on where to look, who to talk to, and how to make this possible. 

Thanks to all!
