New Charlotte Investor - looking for pointers

[Pulkit Aggarwal]

I am considering purchasing an investment property in the Charlotte market to rent out, and would love some thoughts on the areas to consider. Seems like South side of Charlotte is more expensive compared to North, but unsure if the rental demand is strong in the Northern side as well. I am also considering suburbs like Gastonia, Huntersville, and Matthews as the affordability and schools are better but am worried that the commute from those areas into Charlotte could be a deterrent. Any recommendations? Thanks!
