Be aware that the economy has been in a long expansion.

How do I start an expansion team?

I work a full-time job in the healthcare industry and my interest towards real estate investments in Charlotte stems from how beautiful of a city it is and my thought that in the coming 5-10 years, it is posed to experience aggressive expansion.

And like what @Darius Ogloza mentioned, a 200 service is standard these days and allows for future expansion/renovation possibilities. 

It was as simple as removing the old window, silicone caulk, screw in new window, small bit of low expansion foam, and then fussing with the trim to make it look perfect.

I'm a structural engineer and in this part of Texas we usually have slab on grade without basements because we typically have expansive soils.

There will always be demand in our market for townhomes and condos, just as your coworkers and your company expansion both indicate.One thing to investigate is if there are any special assessments or other expenses planned for the community.

JT,(A) One accessory dwelling unit and one junior accessory dwelling unit per lot with a proposed or existing single-family dwelling if all of the following apply:(i) The accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit is within the proposed space of a single-family dwelling or existing space of a single-family dwelling or accessory structure and may include an expansion of not more than 150 square feet beyond the same physical dimensions as the existing accessory structure.

-It is less than 1 acre with no room for expansion at all, unless you go vertical.

When economy is strong tenants can (test weaker markets with expansion plans).
