Rents in Lake Norman

[Daniel Pitta]

I'm looking to relocate to Charlotte from DC next year. I'm interested in buying my first investment property in Cornelius or Huntersville. My plan is to secure a 3 or 4br on an FHA loan as an owner occupied. Since I know nothing about the area, I'm curious what I could reasonably expect for rent. I'm going to check craigslist, but I figured I'd ask around here.

Also I'm looking for suggestions on some other nice areas to look at in or around Charlotte. I've heard that SouthPark is a nice area as well, however properties look a lot more expensive based on what I've seen on redfin. I'm flying down for a week next month, staying with a friend, and want to get a better feel for the market. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
