Hey Dylan, welcome to Real Estate investing and BiggerPockets! This is an amazing community with people looking to help each other progress in their real estate investing journey. I love your goals and your idea to house hack, that’s how I got started as well.

Multifamily inventory in the Charlotte area is low, so it may be wise to keep your option for SFR's open as well. I'm an investor-friendly Realtor in the Charlotte area, I'd be glad to connect and talk more about it!

Welcome to the BP community!

@Maungmaung Y.

Hey!

Welcome to the world of real estate investing!! I'm a local Realtor here in Charlotte, I'd love to connect and talk more about your plan for your first investment! Within your budget, I would definitely be open to condos/townhomes or SFH's and look for areas such as West Charlotte, NW Charlotte, and East Charlotte.

Property Management charges (and the fees that some companies charge) vary by company, but you can expect somewhere between 8-12% of your monthly rent to go towards your PM company. You can also decide to self-manage if you want to save that extra 10%. Hope this helps!

I’d love to set up a call and talk more about your goals! Looking forward to speaking soon!

@Brad Cherry

Hey Brad, like I mentioned to Joshua, I'm a Realtor/investor here in Charlotte. I love your plan to go for STR's to generate cash flow to then expand your portfolio more rapidly. I believe that's an incredibly underutilized technique to growing and expanding your portfolio quicker.

I’d love to connect and chat sometime about what you’re looking for.

Looking forward to speaking with you!

@Joshua Frank

Hey Josh,

I’m an investor/Realtor here in the Charlotte area. The first deal is always the hardest! Once you get the first couple deals out of the way, the dominoes will start falling.

I’d love to hop on a call sometime and talk more specifics about what your goals are here in the Charlotte area. I cover the suburbs around Charlotte as well, (areas like Concord, Kannapolis, Huntersville, Gastonia, etc.) which might have better returns.

Looking forward to connecting and talking soon!

Hi Nicholas!

That’s awesome that you’re looking to get into real estate. I’m an agent in the Charlotte/Gastonia area (can also work in Asheville) and I would love to help anyway I can! I mainly work with investors looking for investment properties. I’d love to talk more with you about the market and your plan!

@Omar Burnett

Hey Omar! Congratulations on graduation. I’m a Realtor in the Charlotte area that focuses on working with investors. I actually closed on a house hack in July that I cash flow $200+ per month on. As someone with house hacking experience/knowledge of the Charlotte market, I’d love to connect and talk more with you!

@Ji Hye one

Hi!

That’s awesome. Real estate is the greatest thing in the world! My name is Nick Icard, I’m a Realtor/investor here in the Charlotte area.

I recently closed on a house hack myself. There are so many areas here in Charlotte that you can find great deals in. Different strategies can be used for different areas, so there is so much opportunity here. I’d love to help anyway I could! Let’s connect and talk more about your goals and what you want!

@Joe Nguyen

Hey Joe,

The Charlotte, NC Market and surrounding areas are amazing areas to invest. Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in America and continues to expand at a rapid rate.

Specifically, West Charlotte is a place investors have thrived in recently. Appreciation is tremendous there as it becomes more and more developed. North Charlotte (the University area) is another area that continues to grow and provides great student housing opportunities.

The surrounding areas of Charlotte are great for investors as well, with areas such as Gastonia and Kannapolis providing great opportunities for cash flow and major appreciation (upwards of 20% per year).

I’m a Realtor/investor in the area, I’d love to connect and talk more!

@Javaughn Harkness

Hey Javaughn! I’m a Realtor/investor here in Charlotte, and there are definitely some areas that fit what you’re looking for. As Chris mentioned, the University City area of Charlotte is great as far as affordable housing goes. Another area that comes to mind is East Charlotte (that’s where I currently live). I’d love to talk more about it with you!
