SFH Investment - Charlotte NC Area

[Ram Ranga]

Hello All, this is my first post in BiggerPockets community and I am really excited :)

I'm just starting my career investing in SFH rental properties and looking for expert opinion from experts. I just extended an offer on a SFH and it has been accepted. I would need recommendations on home inspection (who would you hire in CLT), negotiation tips on what I should ask the seller to fix before closing the deal and what upgrades (when needed) matter the most to tenants to get me a good rent/ROI?

This is NOT a rehab/flip deal but an active 15+ years SFH in a decent community with good school district in Charlotte.

Thanks!
