What zip codes within Mecklenburg County (Charlotte) do you recommend targeting when looking for rental properties (single family homes, duplexes, triplexes, and 4-units)?

@Rachel Luoto  What zip code is the property located in?

The ones I know of so far are (please correct if wrong):5% TaxOption for the city to inspect for code complianceOption for city to inspect for food and safety complianceSomeone associated with the property must live within 50 miles of rental

Zip code : 44128Wondering if I should buy property here ?

What zip codes are you interested in?

I am new here so I don't have much advice to offer other than to pick an area and call the zoning board or code inspector for that area. 

I have been striking out with finding an appropriate Umbrella Policy that will cover my two rental properties (zip codes 23462 and 80226) AND my primary residence (zip code 23451). 

I recommend Glenn (Code Electric).

I'll be honest, I read your post and smugly went to look up the Cincinnati code to prove that you heard the direction incorrectly.

Build a niche list, focus on one zip code and find every distressed property, think outside-the-box not in the same box as everyone else looking for an easy way to find deals.
