It's also important to know that most HOAs do not allow balconies to be painted, tiled, covered in order to keep a uniformed appearance. 

We're prepared from a financing perspective but I'm hoping to learn more about the process of actually finding and closing on the right investment property in the Charlotte market, specifically:1) Recommendations for Charlotte REI networking groups - I've seen a few mentioned in different threads here but they appear event-specific from this past month2) Ideas on approaching the property search - Are there local RE agents / firms that specialize in REI properties around town?

There was even an episode of "People's Court" aired about just this.

I have a boyfriend/girlfriend living in one of my units and both names appear on the 6 month lease.

If they are not out by November, the courts will keep them in for free until Spring!

Our governor just lifted the memorandum on evictions so the courts will be backlogged for a longggg time so dealing with a possible eviction for the first deal isn't exactly exciting but hopefully doesnt got there.

It appears you may be eligible for that. 

Will the court houses do that? 

In certain states title companies can provide an affidavit for the court asking the judge to "Set aside" or Vacate the judgement based on new owners.The court or collector could then re-file the judgement against the correct person as a "floating judgement" or lien against their property/assets.  

Evictions (if they are even possible in this situation) are a lost cause with courts backed up for months.
