I have built enough capital to feel comfortable investing heavily and am interested in either a flip, small multi family, or commercial.

However, be cautious—newer “B” properties are sometimes built in “C” neighborhoods, so careful due diligence is required.Monroe: As mentioned earlier, Monroe strikes a balance, making it a versatile option for investors.Trends to WatchTransit-Oriented Development: Areas near light rail expansions are seeing significant value increases.Suburban Growth: The suburbs around Charlotte, including areas like Concord, Huntersville, and Monroe, are experiencing steady growth as people seek more affordable housing outside the city center.When investing in Charlotte, aligning your neighborhood choice with your goals is essential.

It is better to start slowly, and gradually get into more riskier deals once you have the foundation and experience.

I've owned hundreds of lots and built on very few. 

You'll likely also reduce your cost of living by moving to a stabilized apartment.Depending on the cashflow and debt paydown, you can use this strategy until you've built enough equity to reinvest.On the other hand, getting into a multi-family after refinancing will also help you build substantial equity to rinse and repeat in the coming years.

A property manager may be a hard egg to crack but once cracked (built trust or relationship), they can open many doors since they can be your advocate and have access to many homes.this is the case with apartment complexes.   

I've been on the western slope for over 30 yrs.I built my primary, its; Slab on grade, stucco, concrete roof, painted with E-84n roof soffits and tailings fire caulk (anti-ember) vulcan fire vents, 4 car wide concrete driveway, extra large house numbers, red 3/4" hoses on reals @every corner, completely denuded of vegetation 100ft.

The rent-to-price ratios are strong, property values remain relatively affordable compared to many other cities, and the city has been seeing real economic and population growth.I invest in Detroit myself and have built a portfolio of 12 doors there.

Every property that is on this street has cans and will try to have these done the same way for these MH.Currently there is a 1998 and 2001 year built MH on the property.
