Thanks for the reply, Phil. I am not local to Charlotte and hence have been mostly reading about the area online and others' experience in the market there. I am not considering rehab for now because I am not local and it could be challenging managing a rehab project not being in the area. 

Do you think that investing in Charlotte could still be better in terms of appreciation than the adjoining suburbs? I would be open to considering properties there if that's the case even though I realize that the cash flow might not be as favorable, at least in the beginning. Do you have any suggestions about the areas in Charlotte to consider?

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!
