That growth is unevenChase JordanFri, January 24, 2025  The ever-growing Charlotte region is home to 3 million people, but the population is projected to swell by more than 50% over the next 25 years, according to local researchers.By 2050, some 4.6 million people will be living in Mecklenburg County and surrounding areas, the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance said in a report released Thursday.

Just to confirm my understanding, you are living in a side by side duplex in Miami - you want to renovate the other side that you aren't living with a renovation loan?

I assume you’ve got a loan that says you will be living there.

You have the ability to sell while limiting your capital gains tax because you lived in 2 of the last 5 years. 

They knew a dog lived there when they rented it and they rented anyway, knowing they had allergies and chronic asthma they rented a home with carpet. 

I am exiting the rental market here (love living here tho). 

Very generally speaking the areas of Hartford and New Haven where you can hope to attract qualified tenants (assuming that is your goal) are very expensive because most of the people with something to lose that live in these cities generally live in 2 or 3 areas.

I'm from Leesburg, and I can tell you—multi-family is a solid choice (piggybacking the previous comments which I agree 💯), especially with that live-in/rent-out, house hack strategy.

If you are living there you can keep the 4% rate.If you are not living there you can rent it out to pay for the property taxes. 

You can live in your own space and rent out the others.You may even find a house hack.
