Is this an intended BRRRR deal or just a value-add? 

In Charlotte, I'd personally on South End, NoDa, Plaza Midwood, Dilworth, Elizabeth, Uptown, or areas a bit further out like Ballantyne. 

Are you in an area where land is very valuable leaving you with less to depreciate?

But again, if you're going to take it down to change out furnishings anyway, then the timing could work out well.

This goes the same for calculating rents in the area, I what to know the real data.. i.e. from the MLS, or insurance from the broker/insurance agent to make the right decision.

There sure are fast track approaches to this but really depends on strategy. 

Falling out of compliance can lead to penalties, lawsuits, and even damage to your reputation as a landlord.

Then just ask: Hey, since you moved out of state I was wondering what your intentions were with this house.

I hear so many things from door knocking to contacting your circle of influence but lets be realistic there is tons and tons of tools that make outreach way more effective.What would be a good way to market to get 5 listings this month?

Also, what should a new investor be aware of when diving into this market?
