We're still waiting to find out when we can apply and who we apply to, etc. 

If a rental/lease contract is a legally binding document...enforced by collecting rent...or enforced by an eviction process if rent is not paid....then can there not be a document (legally binding) for a tenant to sign that would relinquish their rights as a squatter or due process of eviction...

All our statutes can fit on a few pages.

If your goal is to get the info asap for small multis, I would go with something where it's already skip traced so you can direct market or call for that investor's preference.

You can price your rental near the bottom of your comparable competition to rent faster.

However, there are still some great opportunities within Charlotte that can deliver strong investment potential.

It would most likely come down to price and what you can afford. 

You will need to live there for at least a year after making that purchase and there are rules about how you can move out.

Of course you can go smaller and the numbers will be smaller or you can bigger as well.

There are so many variables to consider before your question can be answered.
